The vehicle is reported to have been captured by security cameras near Parliament Building, City Hall Way.
Moreover, the suspect in custody was also traced along all the routes the late MP used before he was shot.
The late MP was shot on April 30, at a traffic light on Ngong Road near the City Mortuary roundabout.
He was shot four times and was pronounced dead after he was rushed to Nairobi Hospital.
CCTV footage revealed that Were left the parliament buildings at around 7 p.m. on Wednesday and was accompanied by his driver and bodyguard.
The car was later then stopped briefly in Wabera street and his bodyguard alighted, walked into an M-Pesa shop and deposited Ksh20,000 into the MP’s phone.
Security cameras captured a hooded man carrying a bag and monitoring the Kasipul MP’s vehicle.
The MP and his team left Wabera Street at around 7:19 and headed towards Kenyatta Avenue before the driver changed route and joined Ralph Bunche Road to avoid traffic before joining Argwings Kodhek Road.
Were was then caught in a traffic snarl-up along Valley road, with the suspect who was seen monitoring them in Wabera street trailing them again on a sports bike.
The suspect then disembarked from the bike, walked up to the car, and fired four shots at close range before sprinting away from the scene.
