He grew up on Dobračina Street in the Belgrade neighborhood of Dorćol where his family shared a yard with Džamba's maternal cousin, singer Džej Ramadanovski.

[3] He disappeared on 23 September 1992 at the age of 39 after being beaten up by casino security headed by Vukašin Gojak, a member of the Serb Volunteer Guard paramilitary.

According to Gojak, Džamba tried to enter the casino drunk and without a ticket, and brandished a firearm at one of the guards when he was denied access.

Campaigning for the 1993 election, politician Vojislav Šešelj claimed Arkan had planned the murder, and that he was in contact with an eyewitness.

[3] According to the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, Džamba belonged to a string of murdered criminals from Serbia who all had one thing in common, namely a lack of "good backing" in the police.
