Prominent Kampala businessman Anthony Mutinisa, owner of a luxury vehicle hire company specialising in high-end Toyota Land Cruisers, was shot dead on Sunday evening, August 24 2025, by a private security guard at his office in Ntinda Ministers Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said the guard allegedly confronted Mutinisa, shot him, and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango confirmed investigations are underway and a manhunt has been launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are following critical leads and are confident the suspect will be apprehended. We urge the public to remain calm as investigations continue,\u201d\u00a0Onyango said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mutinisa, well known in Kampala\u2019s elite circles for his thriving vehicle rental business, built a reputation for supplying luxury cars to ministers, diplomats, and corporate clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This killing adds to a growing list of violent crimes involving private security guards in Uganda. In June 2025, a guard in Mbuya shot and killed two company executives after a dispute, while in February 2025, another guard from Saracen Security murdered a businessman at Mukwano Arcade in downtown Kampala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Security analysts have raised concerns over the vetting, training, and regulation of Uganda\u2019s private security industry, which employs thousands of armed guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police have urged anyone with information on the suspect\u2019s whereabouts to come forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
