Police sergeant Abel Masava lost his life after taking a bullet to the head Thursday night in Bulawayo. He spotted five men walking through the Tshabalala area where he had investigated an earlier crime report. When he asked why they wandered there, one man pulled out a gun.
The shooter aimed directly at Sergeant Masava before fleeing with his four buddies. A fellow police officer stood nearby with two citizens who had called for help. They rushed Masava to the closest hospital as fast as possible, but the medical staff could not save him.
Doctors pronounced him dead shortly after he arrived at the emergency room. Zimbabwe police headquarters has kept quiet about the deadly attack against their officer. They continue looking for clues about who murdered their colleague during regular police duty.
Law enforcement teams searched everywhere for the five men who disappeared after the killing. Neighbors expressed shock about losing a public servant just doing his job in their community. Residents across the city hope for arrests as police hunt for those behind this senseless violence.
