Johannesburg MMC for Public Safety, Mgcini Tshwaku, says police have identified a woman as a person of interest in the murder of Warrick Stock, popularly known as DJ Warras.
The woman is alleged to be a former tenant at the Zambesi building in Johannesburg’s CBD, where DJ Warras was fatally shot on Tuesday.
Police have launched a manhunt for those involved in the killing, and five people have so far been taken in for questioning.
Tshwaku says investigators are working around the clock to solve the case. He claims the woman of interest is believed to be the alleged kingpin and is also cited in a protection order previously obtained by DJ Warras.
According to Tshwaku, DJ Warras had been threatened by a group linked to the woman after he attempted to have them removed from the building. He says these threats ultimately led DJ Warras to seek legal protection before his death.
