Dead, Shawn George
Police said that he was killed around 17:00hrs by a 34-year-old West Ruimveldt resident during an altercation.
According to police, George was at the shop sitting on a bench, when the suspect rode up on a motorcycle and called him an “anti-man”.
He then reportedly shouted back telling the suspect to come and say it to his face.
“The suspect reportedly stopped, came off the motorcycle, and approached 52-year-old George, after which a scuffle ensued”, police said.
The two men ended up in a nearby drain where the suspect pulled out a knife from his pants waist and stabbed George four times- one to his left forearm and three to his left side abdomen.
The suspect then escaped on his motorcycle, leaving a wounded George in the drain.
George was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he died while receiving treatment.
