BBC has reported that Karemangingo was shot about 50m (164ft) from his residence in the Liberdade neighbourhood on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

He was reportedly confronted by gunmen on three vehicles who intercepted his car before they fired a hail of bullets at him.<\/p>\n

The killers are so far not known, much less the reasons for the crime that shocked the neighbourhood and the Rwandan community in Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The police were at the scene for forensic work and the body was taken to a provincial hospital.<\/p>\n

The Association of Rwandan Refugees in Mozambique said Karemangingo was a refugee doing pharmaceutical business.<\/p>\n

In 2019, another Rwandan, Louis Baziga who served as the chairman of Rwanda\u2019s diaspora in Mozambique was shot dead in a similar style in a Maputo suburb after gunmen intercepted his car. <\/p>\n

At the time, Karemangingo who is an ex-soldier of the former government (Ex-FAR) was identified among three suspects behind the murder of Baziga. <\/p>\n

The remaining suspects include Diom\u00e8de Tuganeyezu, a pastor, businessman and ex-soldier as well as businessman Benjamin Ndagijimana. <\/p>\n

In July 2016, they were taken to court on the accusation of attempts to kill Baziga.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor Oct\u00e1vio Zilo accused the three men of attempting to kill Baziga to become proprietors of Pentecostal Church in Revival Mozambique which they founded along with the deceased.<\/p>\n

In March 2018, another Rwandan called Vital Hitimana running a business in Villa Olempique town was shot dead with rapid-fire and admitted to hospital over sustained injuries.<\/p>\n

Mozambique accommodates approximately 3000 Rwandans, majority of whom living in Maputo City. <\/p>\n

It is said that some of them work with rebel groups hostile to the Government of Rwanda including RNC and hunt their colleagues accusing them of spying for Rwanda. <\/p>\n

It is also reported that Karemangingo had alerted security officials of suspected plans to assassinate him. <\/p>\n
