Emmanuel was said to be on set for a production when he was shot dead in the Mpape area.
The skit maker was said to be among six people attacked by some armed men last Saturday, May 11.
People who claim to be familiar with the situation claimed that the attackers, who were armed with machetes, initially demanded money to allow them to film at the location.
