A TimesLive report suspects the shooting may have been related to the killing of four people, with two others wounded in Hout Bay on Monday.
Last week, another person was gunned down, also in Hout Bay, leading officials to suspect the shootings were a result of turf wars over taxi routes between two rival taxi associations.
The story will be updated as more information becomes available from the police.
