America street vendors said that Fabulous would normally sit on a chair on the corner of America street and work. His mother said some months ago he was robbed by gunmen at the same location, but after he found out who the bandits were they decided to repay him and settle the story. Police investigators quickly cordoned off the area and commenced their probe into the murder. It’s unclear if any of the nearby security cameras can be of any help to the police to arrest the suspects.
