On September 7, 2023, at approximately 3.30pm, Alwayne Barnes, armed with a Stanley knife, initiated a confrontation with a car full of young people. Moments earlier, Barnes and his associates had catcalled an 18-year-old woman as she walked across the KFC parking lot. When the woman entered a waiting car and reported the incident, the driver glared at Barnes, triggering an aggressive response.

Without hesitation, Barnes lunged at the vehicle, punching an 18-year-old man through the open window. He then turned his attention to a 20-year-old man who had exited the car. Tragically, this second victim suffered four stab wounds – to the chest, back, and shoulders – during the ensuing attack.
