Breakthrough in DJ Warras murder as two charged

Gauteng police have charged two people with the murder of DJ Warras. 

The duo is set to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, December 24, 2025.

The suspects were taken in for questioning on Monday morning. 

DJ Warras was fatally shot on Tuesday, December 16, in front of the Zambezi Building in Johannesburg Central.

Gauteng police spokesperson Brigadier Brenda Muridili said the two people of interest were picked up from a hostel in Soweto at around 2 am on Monday morning. 

The arrests follow a public commitment last Friday by National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola, who, during an oversight visit to Pretoria, said that a “known suspect” had been identified and predicted a breakthrough by the end of the weekend.

Police previously said three unknown suspects approached the victim after he parked his vehicle and opened fire before fleeing on foot. 

The motive for the shooting remains unknown.

Stock, a director at Imperium Security, had been working to secure the Zambezi Building and had recently obtained five protection orders due to threats linked to his work. 

CCTV footage from the scene, showing a suspect with dreadlocks, remains a key piece of evidence.

Meanwhile, the Gauteng provincial government has welcomed the arrest of two suspects who were taken in for questioning in relation to the case of the media personality.
