Two men have been handed arrest warrants in connection with the stabbing death of a man in Brisbane, while another pair has already been prosecuted.
A gang of males ambushed Levi Johnson, age 23, outside a gym parking lot in Mansfield’s southern neighbourhood on Monday.
Four males stepped out of two automobiles that had surrounded his car and began breaking his windows. Mr. Johnson tried to flee, but two guys followed him and stabbed him many times as they approached.
According to Queensland Police Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham, “It is something that was savage, it occurred incredibly rapidly, and they were indeed enthusiastic about doing their objective.”
The murder of Mr. Johnson has been accused of being committed by two guys.
Thomas Myler, 35, and Kyle Martin, 24, are said to be hiding in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs and may have been engaged in the assault as well.
The two are the subject of international arrest warrant notifications, and Queensland Police claim that both were members of the 13 Kings gang at the time of the incident.
In the last 24 hours, authorities have received 27 tips from Crimestoppers about Myler and Martin’s potential whereabouts.
In addition to requesting any dashcam video of two parking lots at the Carindale retail centre, they encourage the couple to turn themselves in.
Martin is seen in CCTV video taken at the Carindale retail centre before to the incident, according to police on Friday.
According to Det Supt Massingham, “We claim that the four persons gathered at a nearby area, that they watched the victim, Mr. Johnson, for a while, waited for him to leave a certain spot, and then followed him until they trapped him in the parking lot of the gym at Mansfield or Carindale.”
Police are asking anybody with dashcam video from the Creek Road parking lot on Monday between 12.30 and 2.10 p.m. to contact them.
Additionally, they need anybody with dashcam video from the Winstanley Street parking lot between 11.05 and 1pm to contact them.
Det Supt Massingham continued, “This is a crucial tactic that will unquestionably assist us identify the last movements of these people shortly before and after the incident took place.”
According to the police, anybody connected to the two who aids in harbouring them may be prosecuted with accessory to murder, a crime that carries a potential life term in jail.
