The suspect fled the scene and is yet to be arrested,\u201d said Twigg. According to the community members it is alleged that the deceased was the one who survived during the shooting incident in <a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/councillor-on-a-mission-to-revamp-roads-in-crossroads-20230209\/\">New Crossroad <\/a>on Wednesday 16 July where three people were gunned down. (\u201cTripple murder in Gugulethu: Police launch manhunt\u201d, City Vision, 24 July).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A community leader who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of harassment described the area as a danger zone. She described the incident as devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe crime rate is high here. This young man was among the three people that were shot and killed three weeks ago, but he survived. I suspect when he was attacked this morning he was going to the clinic for treatment. Last Saturday 2 August another man was stabbed to death at Section 7 in KTC in the same ward,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stated that there are house yards in New Crossroads that are written \u2018Boko\u2019 by unknown people. \u201cYou wake up in the morning and you see your yard written \u2018Boko\u2019 and if you remove it, they come to you. They will kill you and your family,\u201d she said, adding that Boko is a gang group that is terrorising the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gugulethu police registered a
