Based on reports received, two armed men entered the home through a door located on the northern side of the building, which was left open. The armed men held Daniels and his fiancée at gunpoint, and relieved him of a gold chain, which he was wearing at the time, and an undisclosed sum of money. The robbers then made good their escape, while Daniels gave chase behind them. During the pursuit, one of the robbers discharged several rounds, one of which hit Daniels in the region of his stomach and chest. Daniels was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
