The driver stopped the car and tried to escape on his feet. However, he eventually fell next to the car under a hail of bullets. The assailants continued shooting inside the car, targeting other occupants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A resident, who only identified himself as Mzondi for the fear of victimisation, said the incident occurred in the afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was inside the mall shopping when I heard several gunshots. We were all shocked inside the shop. We thought there was a robbery in one of the shops inside the mall. The security officer locked us inside the shop,\u201d said Mzondi, adding that the door was opened a few minutes later. According to him, people who were at the mall informed security that the incident happened outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WATCH |&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/southafrica\/news\/watch-gun-wielding-taxi-driver-held-for-allegedly-smashing-motorists-car-windows-in-cape-town-20230125\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Gun-wielding taxi driver held for allegedly smashing motorist\u2019s car windows in Cape Town<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mzondi said he immediately went outside to check the incident. \u201cI saw a man lying on the ground covered with blood. The other two people were inside the car. I\u2019m not sure where exactly they were shot because I was standing at a distance,\u201d he explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mzondi stated that mass shootings became a norm in Gugulethu. He urged the police to pull up their&nbsp;socks and to be visible in the community. \u201cI don\u2019t think it was a robbery. And I believe this incident is connected with the one that occurred in NY112. But I don\u2019t want to speculate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provincial police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa said&nbsp;Gugulethu police have opened a triple murder docket for investigation after three men between the ages of 28 and 30 were shot and killed on Sunday evening.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReports from the scene indicate the vehicle&nbsp;in which the deceased persons were travelling in had just entered NY6 at approximately 17:50 when it came under fire from unknown gunmen who later fled in another vehicle. Numerous shots were fired at the vehicle wounding all occupants,\u201d said Potelwa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two people died on the scene while a third died later in hospital, she confirmed.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potelwa&nbsp;stated that the motive is yet to be determined. Provincial detectives are pursuing several leads, she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone with information can contact the police on 08600 10111 or via the MySAPSApp. Information will be treated with confidentiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-embed24=\"Oovvuu2\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_5d9719d7\">\n<div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(e,t,r){let n;if(e.getElementById(r))return;const
