Fight Breaks Out
Daily Mail reported that the fight took place early Monday morning at a shopping center in Fortitude Valley in Brisbane, Australia. The men involved in the fight insulted each other inside the Valley Metro complex before one of them allegedly pulled out a knife and began making threats.
Seconds later, 24-year-old Lauie Michael Tagaloa can be seen being stabbed in the neck with the knife, and he then falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood. Sadly, Tagaloa was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are interviewing the witnesses who tried to save Tagaloa by administering first aid. The three men who allegedly fled the scene after the fight have since been arrested.

20-Year-Old Charged With Murder
Seyram Kwami Djentuh, 20, has been charged with the murder of Tagaloa, and two other men aged 20 and 21 are helping police and have yet to be hit with charges themselves.
“Police will allege an altercation occurred between two groups of men in a Brunswick Street mall at approximately 4am,” the local police department said in a statement. “The altercation allegedly continued inside a shopping complex off Brunswick Street. During this altercation, it is alleged the 24-year-old Bray Park man was fatally stabbed.”
It is not believed that the two groups of men that were involved in the fight knew one another prior to the altercation.
Tributes For Tagaloa
Friends of Tagaloa’s have revealed that he was a young father who recently celebrated his daughter’s birthday, according to News.com. A GoFundMe page has since been set up for Tagaloa’s family, and it’s already raised nearly $9,000.
“One of our closest mates passed away due to an incident in Brisbane Valley,” the page’s organizer Jordyn Cooper wrote.
“He was such a kind-hearted person who cared for everyone else but himself,” Cooper added. “He never deserved any of this. I’m making a GoFundMe to help his family with any financial support they need so please anything would be appreciated.”
