Investigators suspect the killing may have been carried out by someone from inside the car.
An unprecedented wave of murders and kidnappings is robbing Ugandans of easy sleep and prompting many to ask whether President Yoweri Museveni and his government is capable of keeping them safe.
Despite several arrests, and installation of security Cameras, questions continue to swirl over who or what is behind the spate of murders.
Mr. Museveni recently said Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels are responsible.
His ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) has traded blame with the main opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC).
Politicial analysts suggest the crime wave could be a manifestation of the widening gap between rich and poor, coupled with widespread corruption.

He said, “The apparent situation is social media hype. The social media hype is partly good it increases awareness among citizens. The security agencies are trying to understand reasons behind this new trend. Politics is one of the drivers and NRM has been key at restoring peace and security in Uganda.
