Social media users who saw the location he shared following the shooting were of the view he should never have shared that – or should at least have shared the location after he left. They feel he exposed himself by giving away his location.

His girlfriend Nadia Nakai has not posted about his passing at the time of writing. Sources say she is devastated and just speechless about it all, especially as she was even thinking of having babies for him.
