Baloyi and about four other friends argued with the shooter at level 14 of the residence after he asked them to leave the area.
“The students were not causing trouble so I can’t tell you why he chased them. So they started pushing him asking him to leave and when he left he just shot at someone‚” an eyewitness told TMG Digital.
