Nairobi: 4 Suspected Gangsters Killed in Shootout with DCI Officers

Four suspected gangsters were on early Sunday morning killed during a shootout with officers from Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Juja Road in Nairobi.

During the operation, detectives recovered two pistols loaded with several rounds of ammunition and four daggers.

The four robbery with violence suspects were allegedly part of a six-man gang that robbed two Whitecastle residents and attempted to escape with their car, according to DCI.

DCI sleuths based in Pangani Police Station launched a hunt for the suspects after receiving a report from the victims. The officers caught up with the gang on Juja Road, where a shootout ensued after they refused to surrender.

Police are in pursuit of two other suspects who managed to escape during the fire exchange. The bodies of the four deceased suspects were moved to City Mortuary.
