Man shot dead in his home in Bassonia

The victim had sustained six gunshot wounds and was declared dead on the scene.

Mondeor SAPS are investigating a case of murder after a man was shot dead in Bassonia on Friday evening, March 11.

According to Mike Fontes, chairman of Glenvista Community Policing Forum, the incident took place in the garage of his home in a complex on Soetdoring Street just before midnight.

“It is believed two or more suspects shot the resident six times as he was arriving at his home”

Fontes said CPF members responded to the shooting with Fox Security and National.

“Upon arrival, the two suspects escaped the response teams, most likely into the veld behind the complex,” he said.

Paramedics arrived on the scene and declared the resident deceased.

It’s unclear what led to the shooting.

Fontes added that investigations by Mondeor SAPS detectives are underway.
