Brakpan police are appealing to residents to come forward if they have any information about the deadly shooting which claimed the life of a convicted murderer and alleged gang boss in Dalpark Extension Six, last week.
It was reported in last week’s edition, ‘Prison parolee gunned down‘ how the 48-year-old man, originally from Phoenix in KwaZulu-Natal, was shot and killed on Monday while sitting in a parked car along Silverbush Crescent.

Two occupants in a blue or green Renault Megane or Scenic arrived at the scene and opened fire on the car, fatally wounding the man.
One of the occupants was reportedly wearing a police uniform.
