In the video, Solomon was seen wearing a beret of the Coalition for Democratic Change while on a motorcycle, and later got attacked by partisans of the opposition Party. Since the incident, the perpetrator is yet to be found.

"Today we have come to declare individuals including a Liberian female and others to be identified wanted for the death of Joshua Solomon who met his untimely death over the weekend," Carter said 

In the briefing, Carter assured the public that the alleged murderers of victim Solomon would be made to face the full weight of the law.

He, however, called on the entire citizenry to assist the police in their investigation.
