Boniface Mwangi Kariuki, the vendor who was shot during the June 17 protests, has died.

Kariuki, who had been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the Kenyatta National Hospital, passed away at 3.15pm on Monday, June 30, almost two weeks after the shooting.

This development comes just a day after the family confirmed that he had been declared brain dead on Sunday at around midnight.

While announcing the news, the family spokesperson stated that since that meant his brainstem was no longer functioning, the family was waiting for the doctors to declare him clinically dead.
