JOHANNESBURG  www.yeezyboost350sireland.com , April 17 (Xinhua) -- A foreigner has died in a xenophobia attack, bringing the death toll to six since violence erupted in late March, authorities said on Friday.

The foreigner, whose name and nationality were not given, was attacked and killed after by a mob at his home in KwaZulu-Natal Province, where the latest wave of xenophobia violence first erupted on March 25.

"We can now confirm that a sixth person has died as a result of the current violence in KwaZulu-Natal  adidas yeezy boost 350 ," police spokesperson Jay Naicker said in a statement.

In KwaZulu-Natal Province, police had arrested 112 people for a range of offences related to clashes between police, foreigners and locals.

Hundreds of foreign-owned shops have been looted and thousands of foreigners displaced.

Violence waned in areas around Durban on Friday due to the work of police, civic and religious organsations and Thursday's peace march in solidarity with foreign nationals, police said.

But in central Johannesburg, sporadic acts of violence took place  cheap yeezys ireland , prompting police to respond with rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse rioters in the area.

Since Wednesday when violence spread to Johannesburg CBD, police have arrested a total of 18 people for malicious damage to property, said Theko Pharasi, Deputy Police Commissioner of Gauteng Province.

Also on Friday, Deputy President Ramaphosa called for an immediate end to the violence.

South African Minister of Foreign Relations and Cooperation Mait Nkoana-Mashabane called an urgent meeting with Heads of African Missions in Pretoria on Friday.

She assured African ambassadors that South Africa is doing all it can to quell xenophobic attacks.

There have been reports that South African companies doing business in some other Africans were preparing to evacuate their employees, fearing for reprisals.

CLAYTON, Mo. — A 20-year-old man charged Sunday with shooting two police officers watching over a demonstration outside the Ferguson Police Department had attended a protest there earlier that night but told investigators he wasn't targeting the officers, authorities said.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said suspect Jeffrey Williams told authorities he was firing at someone with whom he was in a dispute.

"We're not sure we completely buy that part of it," McCulloch said, adding that there might have been other people in a vehicle Williams is accused of firing from.

Williams is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action. McCulloch said the investigation is ongoing.

The police officers were shot early Thursday as a late-night demonstration began to break up following the resignation of Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson in the wake of a Justice Department report that found widespread racial bias in the police department.

"He was out there earlier that evening as part of the demonstration  adidas human race for sale ," McCulloch said of Williams.

But several activists who've been involved in the protests since the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer told The Associated Press they were not familiar with Williams.

Williams used a handgun that matches the shell casings at the scene, McCulloch said. He also said tips from the public led to the arrest.

Williams, who St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said is black, is being held on .
