A 20-year-old Kenyan man died after he was shot inside a supermarket in the US state of Virginia on March 4th.

At 2:05 pm, officers from Charlottesville Police Department (CPD) responded to a shooting at Sunshine Supermarket, located on 827 Cherry Ave.

Upon arrival, officers located Justice Kilel of Gordonsville inside the business, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene, the police department said in a press release.

Shortly after arriving, CPD was notified that UVA Medical Center had received a patient who suffered a gunshot wound.

Preliminary investigation revealed that Kilel was inside the store purchasing an item when two individuals walked in and assaulted him. 

An altercation ensued and two of the individuals involved fired shots.

A 17-year-old suspect who was admitted to UVA Medical Center with gunshot wounds was charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Police have not released his name since he is a minor.

The second suspect, identified as 19-year-old Nasier McGhee, was located at an apartment complex in Albemarle County. He was charged with one count of malicious wounding. 

“Investigators believe that this incident is part of an ongoing dispute between the suspects and victim,” CPD said.

Kilel will be buried in Kapsirchoi, Kapsabet, Kenya. His family have setup a GoFundMe account to raise funds towards the cost of repatriating his body to Kenya and for his burial.

Kipengele kinachotokana na Marekebisho ya Sehemu ya Pili ya Katiba ya nchi ya Marekani iliyoandikwa wakati WanaYuropa walipovamia nchi ya Marekani na kunyakua ardhi ya wenyewe halafu wakaandika yafuatayo:

"The Right To Bear Arms..."

Kila siku katika nchi ya Marekani, watu wapatao 316 hupoteza maisha yao kutokana na:

1. Kupigwa risasi
2. Kujiua kwa kujipiga risasi.
3. Wengine hufa kwa kupigwa risasi bila matarajio au kwa bahati mbaya.
4. Wengine hupigwa risasi na kuuawa na askari polisi.

Hata ingawa watu wengi kama hao hupoteza maisha yao, ukitaka ukosane na Mmarekani, jaribu kupinga sehemu hiyo ya Katiba halafu utaona cha mtema kuni.

Tangu nchi ya Marekani kunyakua uhuru wao kutoka kwa Waingereza, nchi ya Marekani imetawaliwa na marais 45. Miongoni mwa idadi hii, marais 4 walipigwa risasi na kuuawa wakiwa wangali ofisini ya urais. Ajabu ni kuwa, hata ingawa marais hawa wanne walipigwa risasi, utakumbana na matatizo makubwa ukimwambia Mmarekani wa kawaida anyimwe ruhusa kuwa na bunduki.

Idadi ya WaMarekani 2023 ni milioni 334. Ajabu ni kuwa, wana bunduki milioni 393. Katika majimbo mengine
Majimbo yafuatayo yanawaruhusu WaMareni kuwa na bunduki popote walipo bila kupewa ruhusa na serikali:

1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Maine
4. Mississippi
5. Missouri
6. Montana
7. New Hampshire
8. Ohio
9. Oklahoma
10 South Dakota
11 Tennessee
12 Texas
13 Utah
14 Vermont
15 West Virginia
16 Wyoming

Majimbo yafuatayo yanawaruhusu WaMarekani kubeba bunduku baada ya kupewa ruhusa na serikali:

1. Alabama
2. Alaska
3. Arizona
4. Arkansas
5. Colorado
6. Florida
7. Georgia
10 Idaho

Nawaomba WaKenya wanaoishi katika majimbo haya, wajitahidi kuwacha mabishano au mazungumzo yanayoamsha "amygdala" katika akili ya mtu. Mara tu unapomkaripia mtu, amygdala huamka mara moja. Na iwapo aliyekasirika ana bunduki, maskini utapokea risasi na kupoteza maisha yako bure.

Stand your ground law in Florida has been controversial as expected in the last few years,flowing questionable killings.
People dont fight with fists anymore.Take the high road and see another day.The worst person you could encounter is the one who does not have a care in the world.Prison to them is a 5 Star hotel.Blowing someones brains off is like steping or a roach.For such animals, there is no rehabilitation.Just fry them.

Sad. Staying away from white black brown in USA is common sense. Culture difference is real. Americans smoke weed, do drugs and guns and suffered depression big time. Submit to God resist the devil and he will flee

Because white people and the police don't shoot black men for being black? The thing is, there are more guns than people in the US and being black is considered more threatening than having a gun. The Mulford act was enacted into law because of fear of black people.Gun control in the old south had a funny way of targeting black people. It's tempting to accept the oppressors side but a lot of the rights you enjoy in the US are because someone black fought for those rights. Remember when most white people see you, you are one of those people.

Our people living in the US need to advise their sons,daughters and all to at all times whenever possible to avoid close interaction with American men and especially the black young men. You are much safer when you stick to your fellow countrymen.

That is a blanket statement. I know so many well behaved African American and their children. It all depends on many factors( the zipcode, hood, schools etc that your children attend) and fyi If your child was born here, they identify as African American.......................

Please do not lie simply because you were deported from America for being a drug peddler and a street petty criminal. You got a lot of problems there in Kenya; even the in your 1/4 acre piece of land with your 5 humped cows. The first problem with Kalenjins is the inbuilt ability to tell lies with a straight face. You are one of them! We all know you dude! Wacha fitina na ufala!
