It followed an altercation between the 32-year old Yaw and the suspect, Nana Frimpong in front of a garage at the suburb.
The mechanic had demanded, Nana Frimpong move his red Hyundai car some meters away to enable him to park a 207 Benz bus.
The suspect refused and in the ensuing disagreement, allegedly fired a warning shot and later shot the victim.
He had been hospitalised since Tuesday.He passed Wednesday evening after losing a lot of blood.
Medical report indicates his right kidney was so hard hit it had to be removed, his colon was also cut and joined.
Yaw had also lost so much blood requiring more than 12 pints pumped back into him.
The shooter, Nana Frimpong was arrested last Tuesday after angry residents and workers at the garage assaulted him and damaged his car.
