Kyle van Reenan of Ensure Security said, “Our Tactical Intervention Unit immediately intervened, securing and handcuffing the two suspects on scene. Emergency services and the SAPS were contacted immediately. Emergency medical services also attended, however the victim had sustained fatal injuries and was declared deceased on scene.”
