A man was shot dead and a teenager survived a gunshot wound while they were riding in a taxi in Umthambeka Section, Tembisa, on November 12.
Tembisa South SAPS members received a complaint of a shooting in Slovo Street.
Capt Neldah Sekgobela said one of the victims was a 15-year-old high school learner.
“The other victim was a man between 30 and 35 years old. He owned a tavern in Umthambeka Section,” Sekgobela said.
The man was hit in his middle and lower body, and the learner sustained bullet wounds in both legs.
