Who is Karsen Rezac ( Suspected in shooting death of son of Zimbabwean national hero ) Wiki, Bio, Age, Incident details, Arrest, Investigations and More Facts

Karsen Rezac Biography                                               Karsen Rezac Wiki

A day after the shooting of Zimbabwean national Kupo Mleya (38), police arrested a 23-year-old Karsen Rezac on Christmas Eve whom they believe to be responsible.

Kupo Mleya Age

Kupo was the son of the late Brigadier General Fakazi Mleya, who died in 2007 and was declared a national hero. In Harare, Acting President Constantino Chiwenga, who worked with the late Brigadier General, visited the family to express his condolences. Meanwhile, in the United States, Karsen Rezac was taken into custody less than two days after Mleya was found shot to death near 20th Street and Washington Street just after midnight on Friday, the Lincoln Police Department said in a press release on Saturday. Officers responding to a report of gunfire in the area found Mleya around 12:30 a.m. in front of his wrecked Jeep Patriot with multiple gunshot wounds, Police Chief Teresa Ewins said at a news conference Friday. Police performed CPR on him until paramedics from Lincoln Fire and Rescue arrived and continued their efforts. Mleya died at the scene. At Friday's news conference, Ewins did not say whether investigators had identified suspects, noting that witnesses reported seeing one person fleeing the scene, but the police chief did not describe the person or any vehicle of interest. However, police took Rezac into custody Saturday morning near 28th Street and Tierra Drive and arrested him on suspicion of second-degree murder and using a deadly weapon to commit a crime, the department said. In the press release, police did not provide details of what led them to Rezac, who was being taken to the Lancaster County Jail. He is due to appear in court for the first time on Tuesday. Mleya's Jeep was already wrecked when police arrived at the scene, but Ewins said investigators weren't sure if the accident happened before or after the shooting. The crime scene is a block from his apartment, off 21st and Washington Streets. Originally from Zimbabwe, Mleya immigrated to the USA to attend school. He married in Chadron in 2007 before moving to Lincoln in the 2010s. Mleya and his wife gave birth to a daughter in May 2011. The couple separated in 2014 and later divorced. Mleya had worked at Lincoln bike shop Cycle Works and, according to friends and public records, also spent time as a groundsman at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he was a student in the late 2010s. He had also been a student at Southeast Community College. He had a passion for education, friends say — but none that trumped his love of motorcycles. Read the full article

17 out of 24 reported deaths worldwide of government ministers and heads of state have been in Africa. 5 of the remaining 7 were from Asia.

An excerpt from the above BMJ article:

"... A second hypothesis relates to healthcare provision. Many African health systems are chronically under-funded and under-resourced, and this hampers their response to COVID-19 infections. While US president Donald Trump benefitted from cutting-edge experimental treatment when he was in office, this may not have been the case for many African leaders. African elites, especially those from the poorer nations, often seek to access better healthcare in higher-income African countries or in private clinics in Asia or Europe. For example, former president Robert Mugabe regularly took his medical check-ups in Singapore, where he died in hospital in 2019. During the same year, current Zimbabwean vice president and minister of health Constantino Chiwenga spent 4 months receiving medical treatment in China. There is no research on whether medical transfer abroad was formally prohibited, but restrictions of movement in the context of COVID-19 may have prevented African elites from obtaining the better-quality healthcare that they would normally have accessed, especially at short notice. Prime minister Dlamini from eSwatini was transferred to South Africa, but not outside the continent. Algerian president Abdelmadjid Tebboune was admitted to a German hospital in November 2020 and survived. All the African ministers who died of COVID-19 died in their country of origin.

A third possibility is that mortality in the general African population is higher than reported. This argument is made in recent publications, but has been challenged by the WHO and studies that use several demographic, environmental and cultural features to explain the comparatively low death rate in Africa. As mentioned above, the ministers and heads of state considered in this analysis are particularly exposed, and it would be dangerous to infer too much about the broader population. They may, however, represent a wider class of politicians and public personalities, as there is substantial anecdotal evidence of other high-profile individuals dying of COVID-19 across Africa: examples include Mali’s leader of the opposition Soumaila Cissé, Zanzibar’s first vice president Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, Nigerian president’s chief of staff Abba Kyari and Zimbabwe’s high court judge Clement Phiri. At a more general level, the extremely high case fatality rate we compiled using publicly available data does suggest under-reporting of positive cases highlighted in various publications, which may be associated with the relatively low levels of testing in many African countries.
