Why did Muhindi die despite rescue?
Although he managed to reach the hospital, the Kiambu man passed away while receiving treatment. He lost a lot of blood due to delayed medical attention.
In a video shared by @djlamsz, friends and family are seen carrying his casket as well as his cross.
"Condolences to the family of Ian Muhindi, who was shot dead on June 25, during protests while he was on the ninth floor balcony. May God console the heart of the family and friends at large. It is well may they never find peace for killing an innocent soul," he said.

Kenyan man Killed by stray bullet in gym
On June 25, another young man, Ken Ouma, was also killed despite not participating in the highly anticipated protests in honour of the 2024 Gen Z anti-finance bill protests' victims.
Ouma, expected to have a good day and left for the Power House Gym to work out, but sadly, a stray bullet at the height of the protests in Karatina town hit him.
When the Gen Zs realised that he was dead, they wrapped his body in a Kenyan flag and carried it to the Karatina Law Courts.
Sadly, another person was allegedly shot at the library, but luckily, he didn't die and was taken to Karatina Level 4 Hospital.
