An MDC-Alliance legislator has called on the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) and the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) to speedily institute investigations into the fatal shooting of a Bulawayo man by police.

Paul Munakopa (34) was shot and killed by police in Bulawayo Saturday night following a high-speed vehicle chase.

Said Nyoni, "The unfortunate shooting by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) of a vehicle resulting in the untimely death of the driver, Paul Munakopa (34) of Matshamhlope on Saturday night of 23 May, 2020 at Hillside suburb was sad and uncalled for.

The MP said he and fellow legislator, Jasmine Toffa Tuesday visited Hillside police station with the intention of raising residents' concerns over the issue but the officers were uncooperative.

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi Monday described the incident as unfortunate but claimed that Munakopa's Honda Fit was suspiciously parked in one of the suburbs, prompting reaction from police and the neighbourhood watch team on patrol.
