One man has been confirmed dead following a shooting on the corner of Malibongwe and President Fouche Drive this afternoon, Randburg Sun reports.
According to police, the man was driving on President Fouche Drive in his BMW X5 with two occupants towards Malibongwe Drive when a Mercedes-Benz with three suspects overtook the BMW and blocked its path.
One suspect then exited the vehicle and fired shots at the victim from the side window and windscreen.
Of the two injured, one has been confirmed to be the man’s wife who suffered gunshot wounds to the head.
Honeydew police spokesperson, Captain Balan Muthan said the grouping of the shots was a clear indication that the driver was a target.
“The driver passed away on scene from his injuries while a female and an elderly male who were also in the car were rushed to hospital. We are not sure if this was a hit or hijacking,” said Muthan.
