The second victim was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is further alleged that two unknown suspects passed the LDV and started shooting at the deceased, after which the suspects walked away,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Janse van Rensburg noted that SAPS Algoa Park detectives have opened a case of murder and attempted murder following the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stated the name and nationality of the deceased will only be released once identified by the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe motive and the suspects are unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
