GH Kobby, Yaa Baby, Obolo and another individual whose name has been given as Michael Kabutey were on a social visit to Yeji, where the alleged shooter previously stayed for his community service while attending the University of Development Studies (UDS).

Before anyone could intervene, a gunshot rang out, fatally wounding Yaa Baby. She was rushed to the St. Mathias Hospital, where she died shortly after arrival.

According to Yaa Baby's relatives, who spoke in an interview after her death, they had no knowledge about their daughter's whereabouts.
