Fox Jr. was reportedly questioned, alongside another male, with the robbery of an armored vehicle in 2023 where $1.4M was reportedly stolen.
Fox Jr., and his alleged accomplice, were both eventually ambushed and murdered in two separate shooting incidents; according to police.
Metayor, who resides in the United States of America (USA) reportedly received non life threatening injuries during last night’s attack.
