A man's body, with a gunshot wound to the neck, was found in Bree Street, close to a popular nightclub, in central Cape Town early on Monday morning.

It is believed that the 28-year-old man was shot after a fight broke out between him and a group of men, all of whom had been patrons in the club earlier. He was found lying on the pavement after 4-o-clock this morning.

Police spokesperson Captain Elliot Sinyangana says the man was approached by four men while he stood outside on the street.

An argument broke out and one of the men later pulled out a gun and shot him in the neck. The four attackers fled in an orange Golf 4.

Police are still in the process of identifying the victim and informing his family. No arrests have been made yet.

Police are requesting anyone with information to contact them on their crime hotline 08600 10111.
