During the same incident, another man was critically injured.
According to Mwala Yuyi, the shooting happened after a quarrel broke out between Francis Mbale and three unknown men at a local bar.
Yuyi explained that while outside the bar, Mbale picked up a bottle of beer, broke it and started insulting the three men. In the process, one of the men reportedly retrieved a pistol from his waist bag and shot at Gift Chilambe, 30, of Kapisha Compound, who ran about 70 metres across Kabundi Road before collapsing.
He said while Mbale was still fighting with one of the three men, the armed suspect returned and shot him as well, after which the three suspects fled the scene.
People who had been drinking inside the bar came outside after hearing the gunshots and found the victims lying on the ground.
Police officers later responded to the scene and have since launched investigations into the incident. Two projectiles were recovered from the scene.
The body of the deceased has been taken to the mortuary for a post-mortem examination.
Mbale, who sustained a gunshot wound to the head, is currently admitted to the intensive care unit battling for his life.
No arrests have been made so far.
