Lauie Tagaloa was fatally stabbed on July 11 at the Valley Metro food court near the Fortitude Valley train station. At the scene, a violent argument between two groups of guys led to the 24-year-old victim’s murder.
Later, surveillance video from the scene proved that the argument escalated into a brawl, during which Tagaloa was cut. According to reports, the two groups of guys argued and yelled insults at one another until one of them brandished a knife and threatened to harm the other group of men.
At roughly 4:00 am, the event happened next to the food court of the Brisbane shopping centre. Lauie Michael Tagaloa was killed there, and three of the fight’s participants apparently ran away. Later, these persons were detained in relation to the manslaughter.
What was depicted in the upsetting Lauie Tagaloa stabbing video?
The two groups of men could be seen shouting at one another in the CCTV footage that recently went viral online. One of the groups reportedly sought to diffuse the situation and leave, according to the video.
Later on, two men start fighting, and the video shows Lauie Tagaloa being stabbed and then falling backward. The intense bleeding from the knife cut around his neck caused him to fall to the ground. A witness at the scene gave the 24-year-old father first aid to rescue him as blood accumulated on the ground after Tagaloa hit it. However, the paramedics’ efforts were in vain since Tagaloa died before they could revive him.
Since the event, a 20-year-old native of Birkdale has been detained on suspicion of killing Lauie Tagaloa. Two additional males involved in the event are apparently helping with the murder probe, according to the Daily Mail UK. As of July 11, these two people have not been charged with anything in connection with their involvement. The main suspect, meantime, was taken before the Brisbane Magistrates Court on July 12 to learn the results of the accusations made against him.
The Queensland police have identified the man accused of killing Lauie Tagaloa as Seyram Kwami Djentuh, according to News.com.au. After the 24-year-old was killed, a purported associate named Jordyn Cooper started a GoFundMe page to support the deceased Tagaloa’s family.
My heart and condolences go out to his family, he didn’t deserve this to happen to him at all. How he held his neck looking at the blood dripping down from him before collapsing is truly the most heartbreaking thing to watch. Innocent man.

Please don’t share the Lauie Tagaloa video. His family/friends don’t need to see that continuously popping up! Very graphic! Got shown it by a friend and wish I could unwatch it!

There is no purpose to share this, a user commented
Goes to prove blades can be FAR more dangerous than guns, another user commented.
RIP to the guy but please if anyone else finds themself in the Lauie Tagaloa situation, please don’t confront someone who is wielding a weapon, especially if you’re unarmed.

Another person exclaimed. Jesus Christ, is it really necessary to provide a video this explicit in order to explain what occurred? Show some decency!
No one should be spreading that Lauie Tagaloa video, a user commented. Let his family mourn without having to watch that over and over again, horrible.
This just goes to show, never take a small knife lightly.

Even the smallest of knife can cut an artery.
Once that happens, the average human has less than 180 seconds before they bleed out.
Here you see the guy collapse less than 30 seconds after.
This is not a game.
Another person added, “RIP to the guy, but please don’t attack someone who is brandishing a weapon if you’re unarmed,” referring to the Lauie Tagaloa incident.
