On-duty security officer killed in shocking Pretoria shooting

Three men are sought for the senseless killing of Fidelity ADT reaction officer Luckmore Moyo last week Thursday.

Police urge Pretoria West residents to come forward with information regarding the shocking shooting of an ADT security officer.

The shooting happened on April 13 at Proclamation Hill around midnight on the corner of Mica and Kiepersol streets in Pretoria West.

Luckmore Moyo was on duty when he was gunned down.

“He had stopped on the side of the road to complete a docket following an armed robbery at a nearby church. Then a suspicious car pulled up and he was accosted by two armed suspects who shot and killed him at point-blank range,” says Fidelity ADT spokesperson Cathy Findley.

“We cannot disclose details of the attack [as it] could compromise the investigation.”

Findley says there are three suspects, including the driver of the getaway vehicle, that police are looking for.

“Some CCTV footage is available, which will be used in the investigation.”

She says the company was reeling from the incident as condolences pour in.

The slain officer has been with Fidelity ADT as a reaction officer since May 2020.

“We plan to help Luckmore’s surviving family through our comprehensive funeral plan as well as through various other means of support and contributions.”

Fidelity Services Group CEO Wahl Bartmann says they are ‘deeply saddened by the senseless killing of one of our fine officers’.

“On behalf of Fidelity and everyone in the Pretoria office, we extend our deepest condolences to the family of our deceased officer who was extremely well-liked and well-respected.

“We will be cooperating fully with the police and carefully check all footage and leads which will [hopefully] lead to the successful arrest of these murder suspects.”

ADT Pretoria Central branch manager Bennie Coetzee says they ‘will not rest until the suspects have been identified and brought to justice’.

Anyone with any information that could lead to the arrests of the suspects is urged to contact ADT’s tip-off number on 083 939 0300 or their local police station.
