In a statement, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said Masango was part of a group of illegal gold panners who had invaded the mine, which has been a growing issue in the region.

According to initial reports, the situation escalated when Masango and other gold panners attacked Chiunye, prompting him to use his firearm in self-defence. The confrontation resulted in Masango being shot in the head, leading to his death.

Following the incident, Chiunye sustained injuries during the altercation and was subsequently admitted to a hospital in Harare for treatment. Police said:

> Police in Guruve are investigating a case of murder which occurred on 24/10/24 at a gold mine. A security guard, Simon Chiunye (36) shot dead Masango Titus (33) with a Huglo shotgun on the head.

> The victim was part of illegal gold panners who had invaded the mine. The suspect was attacked by the gold panners and is currently admitted at a hospital in Harare.

Illegal mining activities in gold-producing areas across the country have led to conflicts between miners and security personnel, raising concerns about safety and law enforcement in these areas.
