South African rapper AKA, shot dead in Durban nightclub shooting

On Friday night, a shooting at a well-liked nightclub on Florida Road in Durban left Kiernan “AKA” Forbes, another guy dead, and his bodyguard in the hospital. Garrith Jamieson, a spokeswoman for ALS Paramedics, reported that two males were killed in the event.

Forbes was shot while standing on the pavement when gunfire broke out soon after 22:00, according to a first responder at the site who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The renowned nightlife zone, where the incident took place, came to a complete halt when police officers stopped the route.

Robert Netshiunda, a spokesman for the KwaZulu-Natal police, confirmed to News24 that a “well-known rapper” was shot and killed on Friday night shortly after 22:00 in Florida Road, Durban.

According to him, despite efforts, both had gunshot wounds. He said,

“I can confirm that two men were killed and one of them is a well-known rapper. Police will not be releasing any names of the victims yet until a full investigation is completed”

The family of the rapper has released an official statement confirming the news of his death.
