Deep sadness and anger gripped the family of 28-year-old Vincent Ayomo Otieno who was shot dead by police while walking home from work in Kitengela on Sunday during the chaos that rocked Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s Linda Mwananchi rally.

Ayomo, a husband and father of a one-and-a-half-year-old child, was fatally shot in the face in what his family and rights activists are calling a senseless act of police brutality.
