The 26-year-old Victoria Dapaa, also known as Maa Adwoa, was shot dead by the suspect on Thursday night at Adum in Kumasi.

Victoria reportedly died as a result of his five close-range shots, according to reports.

According to reports, he hopped into a rickshaw—a small, two-wheeled passenger vehicle known as a Pragya in Ghana—and fled.

Around 10 p.m. on Thursday, April 20, 2023, the incident took place behind Aseda House near Dufie Towers.

Victoria, who was reportedly a single mother, was brought urgently to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where she was declared dead when she arrived.

Before killing the deceased at close range, the man was reportedly observed conversing with her, according to eyewitnesses.

“After the first two shots, she was pleading with the guy to stop and he added three more shots before jumping into a rickshaw [a light two-wheeled passenger vehicle] to run away.

“Because he was holding a gun, we could not attempt to arrest him,” said the eyewitnesses.
