The male student gunned down on Friday afternoon during an armed robbery in Woodstock, has only been identified as a resident from a small township called Mokodumela, nearby Lesotho in Free State.
The student from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (formerly Cape Technikon) was shot and killed during an armed robbery at the corners of High and Searl Street in Woodstock Friday.
Police say the suspect who is still at large confronted three boys, aged between 14 and 16 at gunpoint at Melbourn Street where he robbed them from their cellphones.
Shortly afterwards he approached the deceased, tried to rob him his cellphone but fatally shot him through his neck and head.
The deceased died on the scene with his cellphone still in his hand.
Attempts yesterday to reach CPUT for comment proved unsuccessful.
Investigations continue.
