A high-ranking 28s gang boss and former henchman of Ernie “Lastig” Solomons was gunned down in Parow Valley on Monday afternoon.
“Preliminary information suggested that three unknown males approached the victim as he walked away from his vehicle, after which shots rang out and the victim sustained fatal injuries.
“The motive for this attack is now the subject of an investigation. Parow police are investigating a murder.”
Ely earned notoriety in 2019 when his bodyguard turned on the Terrible Josters in a landmark trial against Ernie’s nephew, Horatio Solomons, and several others.
