Meyiwa was gunned down in the Vosloorus house of his music star girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s mother on the night of October 26, 2014.
It has been reported that Meyiwa was shot in the presence of Khumalo’s mother, Ntombi, Khumalo's sister Zandi, Chicco Twala’s son Longwe, and Meyiwa’s friends from Durban, Tumelo Madlala and Mthokozisi Twala.
The police’s investigation initially led to the arrest of Zamokuhle Mbatha for the murder. He was later released without being charged and said that he was suing the police.
No other arrest have been made.
