Police in the Ashanti Region say they are following leads to help arrest the killers of a student of Oyoko School of Dispensing Optics who was shot dead by unknown gunmen on Tuesday night at Sofoline in Kumasi.
Kwabena Asumadu, 23, was shot multiple times through the driver's window of his unregistered Mercedes Benz car. His attackers shot him several times in the neck and head at close range, killing him on the spot.
He was found at the crime scene moments after the attack by the Suntreso Police at about 11:50pm.
Though information on what led to the murder is scanty, Police sources say the deceased was allegedly attacked moments after he dropped a friend at the scene.
The Level 100 student was said to be returning from his native Offinso after dropping off a female friend.
The attention of the Suntreso District Police Command was drawn to the incident after the assailants had fled.
The deceased's body was inspected and sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital's morgue for preservation and autopsy.
Personnel of the Crime Scene Management team have since visited the scene as police launch investigations.
Meanwhile, the Police say they have picked positive leads that could help arrest the gunmen.
It follows the activation of intelligence to help apprehend the perpetrators.
