Khayelitsha police are investigating two counts of murder and two of attempted murder following a shooting incident that occurred on Thursday 15 May.
Provincial police spokesperson Sgt Wesley Twigg said the incident occurred at Citabatwe Crescent in Site B.
Two adult males were shot and fatally wounded, one injured and one other escaped unharmed.
“Police found the victims with gunshot wounds to their bodies.
“The two adult males were declared deceased on the scene by medical personnel, while the other victim was taken to a medical facility for treatment.
“The motive for the attack is yet to be determined.
“The suspects fled the scene and are yet to be arrested,” said Twigg.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, said they are living in fear after the incident.
He urged the law enforcement agencies not to leave no stone unturned in bring perpetrators to book. He said he heard the victims were in the house when the incident occurred. “I’m not sure what the motive behind the incident was.
“But it is clear that the incident was well orchestrated because the victims were sitting inside the house when the incident occurred,” he said,
He stated that the area is no longer safe as such kinds of incidents are always
happening.
