An e-hailing driver along with his two passengers were shot and killed in Mitchell’s Plain on Tuesday morning.
PICTURE: PixabayWestern Cape police told Bush Radio News that the motive
for the triple murder is believed to be gang-related.
‘’Preliminary reports indicate that unknown suspects,
travelling in two vehicles, opened fire on the occupants of an e-hailing Honda
sedan at the intersection of Merrydale Avenue and Highlands Drive in Lentegeur
at approximately 11:10,’’ said Colonel Andrè Traut, Western Cape police
spokesperson.
‘’The e-hailing driver, a male whose age is yet to be
confirmed, and two passengers, a 38-year-old male and a 36-year-old female
sustained fatal gunshot wounds and were declared deceased on the scene,’’ he
added.
Traut said its Anti-Gang Unit detectives are following up
on all available leads in an effort to apprehend those responsible and urged anyone
with information to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
