Cases of murder and attempted murder are under investigation after a gunman recently opened fire in Gazel Drive opposite Makhufe Tavern and Jimmy’s Bottle Store in Alrapark.
Collen Joubert (25) was fatally struck by two bullets, one in the chest and the other in the right leg.
He was declared dead on the scene by paramedics and his parents were present to identify their son before his body was taken to the mortuary.
Another victim, Quinton Lenmark (29) of Mackenzieville in Alrapark, was shot twice in the right leg and was rushed to Pholosong Hospital by ambulance.
A suspect was later arrested by members of the JMPD and Nigel detectives after receiving a tip-off from the community.
It was learned that the man is visiting from the Eastern Cape. The motive of the shooting is still unknown.
Two cartridges were collected from the scene by the police, although the firearm has not yet been recovered.
