“What we can confirm for now is that a well-known musician, 35-year-old, and his bodyguard who is said to be 34 years old were shot and killed on Florida road on Friday night.
“The musician and his security detail were leaving after supper… so as they were leaving for their vehicles, two unknown gunmen came from across the street and opened fire on them,” police said.
