The shooting took place opposite the Carlton Centre, on the corner of Von Wielligh and Commissioner Street, after the well-known DJ and media personality parked his vehicle. DJ Warras worked at various radio stations including YFM, 5FM and Gagazi FM.

According to Johannesburg Central SAPS spokesperson Captain Tintswalo Sibeko, DJ Warras was approached by three unknown suspects who opened fire before fleeing the scene on foot.

"The motive for the shooting is currently unknown. No arrests have been made yet, and the investigation is underway," Sibeko said.
