Reports indicated Titus Ngudi, a standard eight pupil, was shot by anti-riot police at Mukende in Sindo town, Suba South constituency. Eyewitnesses told journalists the pupil was shot at their home.

Two youths were among people taken to Homa Bay County Referral Hospital with serious bullet injuries. William Onyango was shot in the right thigh as officers dispersed crowds in the town.
