A Freeway Park young man was shot dead when he and his mother were accosted by gunmen on the morning of April 30.
According to the Boksburg SAPS spokesperson Const Ntsako Ledwaba, the mother and son had just arrived at their home on Morgenster Road when they were confronted by the armed men.
“The suspects pointed a firearm at them as they were parking the car in the garage.
“The son apparently jumped out of the car and one of the suspects opened fire. The bullet hit him in his upper body, and he died. The mother was not hurt.
“It appears the suspects wanted to enter the house, apparently to steal. The pair fled the scene empty–handed immediately after shooting the son.”
The suspects are still at large, but police are investigating a murder case.
