KwaMashu police in KwaZulu-Natal have cast their net wide in search of the killers of a man who is believed to have been an e-hailing driver.
The 44-year-old man was allegedly shot dead by two unknown people on Tuesday.
Lieutenant-Colonel Nqobile Gwala said the paramedics crews and emergency service agencies responded to the crime scene in Avoca, a northern suburb in Durban.
They found the deceased lying in the back seat of a crashed Renault motor vehicle.
“Following closer inspection, the police realised that the man had sustained a gunshot wound and he was declared dead on the scene by the paramedics,” Gwala said.
“Reports from the scene suggest that the man was an e-hailing driver and came under fire in an attempted hijacking by unknown suspects before crashing his vehicle.
It is alleged that the victim was ferrying a passenger when he was allegedly shot by two unknown suspects on Duffs Road. They [the deceased and the passenger] were also reportedly robbed of their belongings.”
