Newly leaked CCTV footage has provided a grim, frame-by-frame look at the events leading up to the assassination of Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock. The video, which began circulating publicly this week, has become a cornerstone of the State’s case against Victor Mthethwa Majola, the 44-year-old taxi boss currently seeking bail.
The footage documents the mid-day chaos that erupted in Marshalltown, Johannesburg, on December 16, 2025, revealing a high level of calculated movement by the perpetrators.
Timeline of the Marshalltown Hit
According to court testimony from investigating officer Captain Abe Montwedi, the footage details a timeline that suggests the attackers were monitoring Warras’ every move.
- 12:10 PM: Warras is seen exiting the Zambesi Building on Von Wielligh Street. He was at the hijacked property to assist with installing a biometric security system.
- The Final Conversation: Dressed in a black T-shirt, Warras walks toward a parked Audi Q7. He is seen speaking on his cellphone while briefly opening the passenger door. He locks the vehicle and begins walking back toward the building.
- 12:17 PM: Chaos ensues. The footage captures the exact moment the shooting begins, with bystanders fleeing and ducking for cover near informal vendor stalls.
- The Key Retrieval: In a bizarre and chilling turn, the shooter is seen doubling back toward Warras’ body to pick up an item—believed to be the keys to the Audi Q7. These keys have never been recovered.
Suspect Profiles: The Men in the Crowd
The footage identifies two key individuals who investigators believe worked in tandem to execute the hit.
| Suspect | Description in Footage | Key Actions |
| Suspect 1 (Shooter) | Wearing a green T-shirt, blue floral shorts, sandals, and a cap. | Fired the shots, then calmly retrieved the car keys before walking toward Fox Street. |
| Suspect 2 (Accomplice) | Dressed in casual attire. | Collected two bags near street vendors. One—a dark yellow gift bag—is believed to have concealed the firearm. |
The Legal Battle: Alibi vs. Evidence
The emergence of this footage has intensified the bail application of Victor Majola. While the State argues that the planning and execution shown in the video link back to Majola’s alleged conspiracy, the defense is fighting back with a firm alibi.
- The Defense’s Stance: Majola’s legal team maintains that he was nowhere near Marshalltown on the day of the murder. They claim he was in Soweto at the time of the shooting and have requested full access to all video evidence to disprove the State’s narrative.
- The Prosecution’s View: Captain Montwedi suggests the retrieval of the car keys and the use of the gift bag to hide the weapon points to a professional, premeditated “hit” rather than a random robbery.
As the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court weighs this visual evidence, the public remains gripped by the details of a murder that claimed one of the country’s most beloved broadcasters.
