Johnson of Lot 145 East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, and another man, Joshua Meredith were charged with the murders of Paul Rodney and Gregory Garraway.

It was previously reported that Rodney had been involved in an argument with the suspects prior to leaving the venue and had attempted to escape, but was pursued and shot. It was said that the assailants made good their escape on a CG motorcycle.
Meredith was arrested for Rodney’s murder and was subsequently linked to the robbery/murder of Garraway, who was shot and robbed of his gold chain on Aubrey Barker Road, South Ruimveldt, on October 11, 2016. (Ramona Luthi)
