A family from Karachuonyo in Homa Bay County is in mourning after their 23-year-old son, Reagan Omondi, succumbed to gunshot injuries sustained during Wednesday’s Gen Z protests in Nairobi.

Omondi died at Kianda Level 4 Hospital in Kibra on Thursday night, where he had been rushed after being shot by police along Ngong Road.

According to his father, George Akelo, the young man was on his way home from work in Kiambu County when he was caught up in the chaos and shot twice—once in the lower arm and again in the leg.

Akelo told Citizen Digital that Omondi was immediately admitted to the health facility and had been receiving treatment until he succumbed to his injuries around midnight.

Speaking at the Nairobi Funeral Home (formerly City Mortuary), the family expressed deep anguish over the incident and called for answers regarding the identity of the police officer who fired the fatal shots.

Akelo further revealed that upon examining his son’s body, he noticed additional injuries on the head, raising concerns about the full extent of the violence Omondi suffered.

Ngong Road was among the epicentres of clashes on Wednesday, as police battled protesters attempting to access the Central Business District. The standoff at the City Mortuary roundabout led to further escalation, with demonstrators lighting bonfires from Coptic Hospital to the former Nakumatt Junction, effectively paralyzing transport along the busy corridor.

The grieving family was accompanied by human rights activist Khalid Hussein, head of the NGO Vocal Africa, who demanded a thorough investigation into the shooting and prosecution of the officer responsible.

Similar confrontations between protesters and police were reported in other parts of the city and extended late into the night.

Postmortem examinations for the six bodies, including Omondi’s, that were taken to the Nairobi Funeral Home following Wednesday’s protests are slated for Monday.
