Windhoek business owner shot dead during robbery
A 39-year-old woman, Finna Natangwe Nghifikwa, was shot and killed during an armed robbery in Windhoek’s Wanaheda on Tuesday evening.
Nghifikwa, the owner of the fashion business September Creations, was attacked around 19:00 on Kigali Street. She and a friend had allegedly been lured to the location under the pretext of viewing a room for rent. The two women were picked up by an individual who had promised to drive them to the property.
Once inside the vehicle, the suspects reportedly held them at gunpoint and robbed them of their mobile phones. During the ordeal, Nghifikwa was shot.
She was rushed to the Katutura Health Centre – formerly known as the Black Chain Clinic – but was declared dead upon arrival.
It is alleged that the shooting occurred in the presence of Nghifikwa’s five-year-old child, though police have not confirmed this detail.
No arrests have been made, and investigations are ongoing.
