VIDEO: Terrific moment fitness trainer, Lawrence Masinge was shot dead in a zoom video call

A popular fitness trainer and also a personal trainer in Gauteng, Lawrence Masinge, has been shot and killed by suspected armed robbers in the full view of over 200 people who were in an online zoom video training session with him on Wednesday night.

One of the online members of the zoom video call who witnessed the whole incident has spoken out but in anonymity out of fear. According to her, she logged in around 6:30 pm for a workout session with Masinge when she heard the sound of the first gunshot just 36 minutes into the class.

“At around 19:10, I was working out obviously and when you are working out on zoom you’re not looking at the computer. I heard a loud banging sound and ran to see what is happening and that’s when my husband ran to the screen and said this guy is getting shot,” she said,

“We were watching a guy shooting him multiple times and then he ran back and shot him in the head again three times. It’s like he wanted to make sure he was dead. By that time everyone was unmuted and asking what is going on..the music was still playing in the background,” she said.

She said his online clients were trying to find out where Masinge lived to send for help when a woman appeared on the Zoom call screen and called for help on a phone.

“Forty minutes later he was still just lying there cold and the police arrived with the paramedics. They asked us questions and if anyone had any kind of footage,” she said.
