A University of Johannesburg student was allegedly shot by a security guard at a private student accommodation.
The 21-year-old student was shot dead in the early hours of 5 November.
Colonel Noxolo Kweza of Johannesburg Central Police Station said that suspect fled the scene and that a manhunt had been launched. “The alleged incident happened at a private student accommodation during the early hours.”
Kweza explained that the security guard was employed privately by the owner of the accommodation and that both the property where the incident took place and the guards have nothing to do with the University of Johannesburg. “However, the owner is working with the police to look for the suspect.”
Police are appealing to anyone with information who can assist in tracing the suspect to come forward. They can SMS the crime line on 32211 or call 0860 10111.
