The 28-year-old alleged gang boss, actor and rapper was shot and killed on Friday morning while traveling down Rondebult Road in Boksburg, Johannesburg.
Solomon is alleged to have been shot and killed while driving in his white BMW at the intersection of Rondebult Road and Kingfisher Avenue.
According to the information received, multiple shots were fired at the BMW killing the driver, while three other people, who were in the car, including a child, suffered serious injuries.
The injured victims were airlifted to hospital after the attack, however it is now known that Solomon succumbed to his injuries. It is not known if the other passengers have survived.
Boksburg police confirmed that a shooting had occurred in the area on Friday morning, however details remain vague at this time as police did not immediately release full details.
However, the Saturday Star has confirmed from sources that it was, in fact, Solomon who was shot and killed.

Earlier this year, Solomon and his son were shot and wounded at their nightclub in the Western Cape. Solomon was shot five times in the stomach and his son was in ICU.
According to sources, the attempt on his life earlier this year was part of “a family war that started in February, when Solomon (allegedly) tried to kill his sister’s son. Instead, they killed their daughter and the war started. “
