Two suspects have been arrested for the murder of a well-known South African media personality. Warrick Stock, known professionally as DJ Warras, was shot and killed last week outside a building in central Johannesburg. The forty-year-old disc jockey and television presenter was also the owner of a private security company, Imperium Ops International, which had a contract at the location where he was attacked.
Police apprehended the two men during an early morning raid at a hostel in Soweto. They are scheduled to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court, where prosecutors are expected to oppose bail. Authorities continue to search for at least one additional suspect believed to have been involved in the daylight shooting, which was captured by area surveillance cameras.
The murder is being investigated as a possible targeted killing. Stock had recently obtained several court protection orders after receiving threats related to his security business. His funeral and cremation were held privately earlier this week. The arrest marks a significant development in a high-profile case that has drawn attention to violent crime in the city and the risks faced by those in the private security sector.
