Little Joe, a presenter at Kansanga-based Galaxy FM, narrowly escaped death last night after an unidentified gunman attempted to shoot him.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, but a video circulating on social media offers a glimpse of the tense situation.
In the footage, Little Joe, known for hosting The Evening Rush, is seen kneeling in front of a Stanbic ATM, pleading for his life while a security guard aims a gun at him.
Passersby who were recording the scene quickly recognized the radio personality and pointed out that the security guard had already cocked the weapon, seemingly ready to fire. Fortunately, it appears that the bystanders’ intervention played a key role in helping Little Joe escape unharmed.
As of now, the exact cause of the confrontation is unknown, and Little Joe has not publicly addressed the incident. However, it is believed that a misunderstanding between him and the security guard may have been the trigger for the tense exchange.
The area where the incident occurred was poorly lit, with no streetlights, which could have contributed to the confusion.
Incidents like this, stemming from simple misunderstandings, often lead to tragic consequences. Thankfully, it was not Little Joe’s time to meet his end.
Some speculate that he may have been mistaken for a thief, possibly due to his attire and hairstyle, as such misjudgments are not uncommon, especially with the recent rise in city robberies.
Given the frequency of crimes in the area, it’s understandable that the security guard reacted swiftly, particularly at an ATM point.
