On Monday, July 11, Lauie Tagaloa was stabbed to death at Valley Metro food court just outside Fortitude Valley train station. The murder of the 24-year-old victim was caused by a heated confrontation between two groups of men at the location.
Later, CCTV footage from the location confirmed that the confrontation turned into a brawl, which led to Tagaloa being stabbed. It has been reported that the two groups hurled insults at each other before one of the individuals armed himself with a knife and threatened the safety of the opposing group of men.
The incident took place near the Brisbane shopping complex’s food court at around 4.00 am in the morning. Three men who were involved in the brawl reportedly fled the scene after Lauie Michael Tagaloa passed away there. These men were later arrested in connection with the manslaughter.
