Crime-scene experts and detectives from the Anti-Gang Unit were scouring the scene of a deadly shooting in a bustling Voortrekker Road, which unfolded in broad daylight on Thursday afternoon, 12 June, leaving one man dead and another seriously injured.
According to provincial police spokesperson Captain Frederick C van Wyk the shooting occurred at approximately 14:40, when a vehicle stopped beside a group of men, including the deceased, 55-year-old André Naude. Without any warning its occupants opened fire, causing pandemonium in the area.
Naude, who was in the company of three other men at the time, succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds. A second victim, aged 61, sustained injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital, while “two other males aged 45 and 54 escaped injury,” Van Wyk said.
A case of murder and three counts of attempted murder were opened. No arrests had been made at the time of posting and the investigation were ongoing.
“We are urging anyone with information on this incident to come forward,” Van Wyk added. They are encouraged to contact the investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Karl Jooste, on 071 300 5029 or reach out anonymously through Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
