Police, in a statement on the murder, had said that Daniels was watching television at the home of his girlfriend when two robbers, one of whom was armed with a gun, entered the apartment. The police had said that Daniels was relieved of a gold chain that he was wearing and an undisclosed amount of cash. Daniels subsequently chased after the men, who shot him in his chest. The men hopped on their bicycles and escaped and Daniels was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
