Police investigate security guard shooting
A security guard was found dead on the side of the road in Mamelodi.
Mamelodi police are investigating the murder of a security guard found shot dead last Thursday morning.
Constable Connie Moganedi confirmed on Wednesday that a case of murder was opened after residents alerted the police to a man lying dead in the veld.
ER24 paramedics arrived in Mashiloane Road around 04:20, and found the man lying among tall grass on the side of the road.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring said the man had a gunshot wound to the head.
“He had already succumbed to his injuries when paramedics arrived and was declared dead on the scene,” said Meiring.
Meiring said the man and his colleague had apparently been approached by gunmen.
He said the colleague had fled to call for help while the man was killed as he tried to defend himself.
Further details were not immediately available, Meiring said.
