Police shot and killed a former Clerk with Siaya County Assembly Monday morning near his restaurant in what officials termed as a case of mistaken identity in Kombewa, Kisumu County.
An investigation has been launched into the shooting of Felix Isaac Olwero, 50 at his resort.
This was after police had been called there to respond to a case of failed burglary in the area on Monday dawn.
Police had initially mistaken Olwero for being part of burglars who tried to access White House Resort before shooting him dead.
They later changed the narrative and declared the shooting a case of mistaken identity and it is under probe.
Police said a manager at the resort called for help saying there was a group of burglars attempting to gain access into the facility.
Police established it was the fifth such attempt on the resort in recent days.
The police responded to the area and cordoned the rear side of the resort when they spotted five men approaching.
They opened fire killing a 50-year-old man who emerged to be the owner of the facility and who was also responding to the claims of failed burglary.
The police had claimed the suspects were armed with pangas and other crude weapons and had threatened to harm the police.
