WESTERN CAPE – Police in the Western Cape are appealing to the public for information following a fatal shooting in Mitchells Plain last night in which three men, aged 21, 22 and 36, were killed.
At approximately 23:50, police responded to reports of gunfire in Bayern Munich Road in Tafelsig, where the bodies of two men were discovered. A third victim was later confirmed dead after arriving at a nearby medical facility.
Preliminary information suggests the victims were returning home from a Rasta festival when they came under fire from unknown gunmen. While the motive is still under investigation, the possibility of the incident being gang-related has not been ruled out.
Anyone with information that can assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111, where detectives from the Provincial Serious and Violent Crime Unit are following up on all leads. Information can also be shared anonymously via the MySAPS mobile application.
