Born on March 8, 1984, in Machakos County, Corporal Nzuve joined the police service in 2005. He served in several regions, including Narok and Baringo, before being deployed to Haiti with Kenya’s third contingent to the mission.
On September 1, personnel from Kenya, the Bahamas, Jamaica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and partner organizations such as DMG, Amentum, Aspen, and GardaWorld held a memorial service for him at LSA1 in Pétion-Ville. His remains were later transferred to the Dominican Republic for preservation before repatriation to Kenya.

“Our deepest condolences go to Corporal Nzuve’s family, colleagues, and friends. His commitment and service will always be remembered,” MSS-Haiti said in a statement on Tuesday.
