Dec. 17 (UPI) -- A well-known South African radio and club DJ was fatally shot sparking nationwide outrage in a country already struggling with high crime rates.
Warrick Stock, who performed as DJ Warras, was fatally shot in downtown Johannesburg on Tuesday afternoon, the BBC reported.
"He spoke his truth without fear or favor. He even spoke up against me and my decisions as a minister. He was a pure example of who we should be," South Africa's Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie said in a statement.
According to authorities, three individuals confronted the 40-year-old media figure. One of them shot him before all three fled the scene on foot.
