“The Moments No One Can Fully Explain”: Unresolved Questions in DJ Warras’ Final Hours
Three weeks after the shocking murder of South African media personality Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock, certain details of his final movements continue to puzzle investigators, family, and the public. Gunned down in broad daylight on December 16, 2025, in Johannesburg’s CBD, the 40-year-old DJ, podcaster, and businessman left behind a timeline pieced together from CCTV footage, witness accounts, and digital traces—yet gaps and discrepancies persist, fueling speculation and grief.
Warras, known for his vibrant presence on YFM, 5FM, SABC1’s Live Amp, and co-hosting The Shady PHodcast, was more than an entertainer. He ran a private security firm specializing in VIP protection and reclaiming hijacked buildings—a dangerous line of work in Johannesburg’s inner city.

On that fateful Tuesday, Warras parked his vehicle near Zambesi House, opposite the Carlton Centre on Von Wielligh Street. CCTV captured him exiting the building around midday, approached by three suspects. One—a short man with dreadlocks, reportedly wearing a navy-blue security uniform—fired multiple shots. Warras attempted to draw his licensed firearm and flee but collapsed across the street.

Police confirmed nothing was stolen, ruling out robbery. The brazen nature—broad daylight, busy area—points to a targeted hit. Hours earlier, Warras was active on social media, reacting to a gun violence video in ironic final posts that now haunt fans.
What remains unclear? Investigators note inconsistencies in witness recollections of the suspects’ escape route and exact sequence. CCTV shows the trio “colluding” beforehand, but portions of the footage are grainy or obstructed, leaving questions about how they knew Warras’ precise location and timing. Did someone tip them off? Was he followed?
Adding complexity: In the months prior, Warras secured five protection orders against individuals linked to hijacked properties, including threats to his staff. He was actively installing biometric systems and CCTV at Zambesi House—a known contested building. Some reports suggest police explored mistaken identity, wondering if assailants targeted him believing he was the owner.

As 2026 begins, these unexplained moments linger. Was the hit retaliation for his anti-hijacking work? Why the security uniform—disguise or insider involvement? Witnesses recall small details differently: one saw suspects flee on foot, another noted a possible getaway vehicle nearby.
Authorities treat it as priority, tracing the firearm and probing property disputes. Yet every discrepancy raises questions, keeping the timeline under scrutiny. Fans debate online, revisiting footage and posts, unwilling to let ambiguities overshadow Warras’ legacy of energy, authenticity, and courage.
In a city plagued by violence, his death underscores risks faced by those reclaiming spaces from criminal syndicates. Until full clarity emerges—perhaps at trial—these moments no one can fully explain serve as a haunting reminder: Warras fought for a safer Johannesburg, and paid the ultimate price.
His family clings to memories of a man who “lived fully and loved deeply.” As investigations continue, South Africa waits for answers, hoping justice closes the gaps in a story cut tragically short.
