A third-year student at Maseno University was on Monday shot dead by police officers during anti-government protests in Kisumu.
William Manyange was among a group of protestors who took to the streets on Monday to participate in the demos called by the opposition Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition.
The protests turned violent after protesters invaded a supermarket in Maseno town, according to a police report of the incident.
Police said the rioters overpowered the security officers who had run out of teargas canisters.
As a result, officers started firing live bullets to repulse the protestors who allegedly invaded the retail store.
The student was in the process shot in the neck and was rushed to Coptic Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Six police officers were reportedly injured during the skirmishes where protestors also lit bonfires and barricaded the Kisumu-Busia highway before engaging law enforcement officers in a running battle.

Same story each an every day. Why don't you compete for that seat if you think you are the best fit? Otherwise shut it. Even Raila is not fit to rule; causing chaos each election year for his failed sacrifices to have innocent Kenyans blood spilled. Raha yake hiyo. An economic saboteur and a warmonger. His time is up for such, aende nyumbani awache watu waishi na amani watafutie familia zao vya kila siku. They are not rich as he is, just following him ignorantly.
@ Ezzy
I am a diehard student of the late Mpilo Tutu of South Africa. He once said, "If you are silent in situations of injustice, you have taken the side of the oppressor."
Let us be objective in analyzing both Raila and Samoei. Had Wafula Arap Chebukati read Chapter 6 of our New Constitution, both candidates would have been automatically disqualified. Neither of them is good or fit to lead Kenya. Sister Karua would make a good Kenyan president. My previous choice was the former governor of Makueni Brother Kivutha Kibwana. Unfortunately, he dropped out of the presidential race after Raila and Samoei politically swallowed him.
Ezzy, I have repeatedly pointed out about Kiambaa Church holocaust in Eldoret which happened in 2007. I have asked Samoei to investigate all those involved in the holocaust but to no avail. After all, it happened in his backyard.
Samoei (the opportunist) will end up being the worst leader since Kenya attained her independence in 1963. The opportunist did not work for 5 years campaigning and working on his academic doctorate while getting state security, including all benefits.
All Toroitich's sycophants (Rigathi, Musalia, and Samoei) will be out of office come 2027 and Kenya will get a new leader who is not tainted with Toroitich's myopic leadership. In 2027, ODM and UDA will be like the old moribund KANU and will be completely dead and out of the political arena.
Ezzy, stop dreaming about silencing me. I would like to save my beloved country by making sure that Chapter 6 of our New Constitution is strictly adhered to and new moral leaders are elected to lead our beautiful Kenya into new heights devoid of opportunists and thieves.
Long live Kenya without hustlers, thieves, and opportunists.
Rail a is a thief of public coffers and so is Ruto. Countless people have died in Kenya because of Raila, same case with Ruto. Now I ask you, what were Kenyans supposed to at the ballot box? Flip a coin? But let us stick with the matter at hand. Does a police officer have a right of self defense? Six of them injured and a police station attacked.
Imara it’s the same former president who twice warned the people not to elect Raila. In 2013 and 2017. Remember Mugorugi, muchawi?
@ Asista:
I thought by now that you would have ceased to play the role that was played by the late Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels who lied for the late The German Fuhrer Adolph Hitler as an incorrigible, congenital, and pathological liar.
Dr. Goebbels was a propagandist. You seem to have taken his role in the current Samoei government
I would like to remind you and the rest of all Samoei sycophants that had Wafula Arap Chebukati read Chapter 6 of our New Kenyan Constitution, neither Samoei nor Raila would have been allowed to run for the presidency of Kenya. Both have plenty of skeletons rattling in their closets.
Aint that what kitendawili wanted? MF was thirsty of human blood!!!! shame
Raila has gotten one sacrifice done here, he is counting .....
Here we go again! Raila sacrificing people for his own greed of power till death does him part
Should we be crying about the dead boy? Nah! The peoples conman isn’t even shedding a crocodile tear for murdering the boy!
Let the idiot dies what was he doing demonstrating causing chaos.Let his people take the body burry it n move on.Just a reminder Kalonzo n Raila kids r safe working for the Kenyan gavament.Bure kabisa
Iam not a prophet,but before the protestes,in one of my comments I said that nothing good will come out of these protestes.
When you incite the masses,and emotions go to over drive, this kind of destruction,and lost of life is bound to happen.It's a given.
RAO is squarely to blamed for the death of this young man. This is the worst news any parent would wish to hear.There is no point in blame games at this point.The whole situation should not have accured.
Raila should be dealing with Ruto,and not hiding behind the masses.This is a one on one combat.

Kenya as a nation under UDA is heading to the wrong direction.
Neither ODM or UDA political parties are good for Kenya. Both parties are led by people who could not pass the test of our New Constitution.
Had the former IEBC chairman Wafula Arap Chebukati been politically compromised, neither Raila nor Samoei would have been allowed to run for the presidency of Kenya.
Samoei is unfit for leadership in Kenya. Why? He is a student and sycophant of the late Toroitich. He is reaping where he never planted any seed. He is not one of the heroes of the Second Liberation of Kenya. While Toroitich was torturing our heroes, Samoei was singing the dictator's song: "TAWALA KENYA TAWALA."
The former President warned the people of Kenya against electing Samoei. Uhuru was right.
