In their statement hours after the shooting, Police said Mukisa would often return home late. 

On the night of the shooting, police said he arrived at the apartment parking lot at around 11:30 pm. After parking his dark blue Subaru Legacy registration number UBJ 006K, Mukisa proceeded to close the gate. It was during his return to the apartment that neighbours heard gunshots.

Neighbours told police that an unidentified individual was seen shooting at Mukisa before briefly withdrawing, only to return and shoot him at close range multiple times in the head.

The assailants fled the scene on a waiting motorcycle.
The murder happened just weeks after a similar shooting of popular vlogger Isma Olaxess in Kyanja by yet-to-be-identified assailants.
