PETALING JAYA: Police are looking for a man believed to be involved in the fatal assault of Stephen Joseph, the former manager of 70s band Alleycats, on Monday.
The man is described as "big and wearing a t-shirt" at the time of the incident - around 7.30pm in a parking lot in front of a food court on Jalan SS2/63.
It was reported that Joseph, 54, had an argument with a driver of a white Proton Saga at the food court where he and his wife, Mary Ooi, 53, were looking to park their car.
They found one and Ooi alighted to wait at the parking lot for Joseph to park the vehicle.
The man in the Proton Saga was said to have shouted at them for “reserving” the lot.
