The victim's neighbour heard him screaming for help as he came running to the neighbour's home, drenched in blood.
A 19-year-old man was allegedly shot and killed through his neighbours’ door by three suspects on Thursday, 11 January at about 2am.
“I was asleep when I heard a gunshot outside. Suddenly I heard someone screaming for help and a young man came running towards my shack. He then pushed the door opened and let himself in,” the neighbour told police.
The neighbour, a witness to the incident, also told police that when he tried to close the door behind him, the suspects fired another shot that went through the door into the upper body of the already wounded victim.
“He then fell onto my bed and three suspects, two of whom had firearms, came into the room.
“They ordered me to accompany them to the victim’s shack where they began looking for money. They ransacked the shack and took R100. They then returned to my shack where they blindfolded me and bound my hands. The suspects then left me inside my shack and fled.”
