Stop circulating video of Jukulyn shooting on social media, police warn

The SAPS in Gauteng is calling on social media users to stop circulating a graphic video of a shooting incident that occurred at a tavern in Jukulyn, Soshanguve during the night of Sunday, June 11.

A team comprising of detectives from the local police station, Rietgat, and detectives from the Tshwane district led by an investigator from the provincial serious and violent crimes unit (murder and robbery unit) are investigating a case of attempted murder after 15 people were injured during the shooting.

The team also comprises members from crime intelligence, forensic crime scene management and other units within the SAPS. It has been tasked with identifying the lone gunman and the vehicle that was used as a getaway.

Tracing and tracking of the suspect and the driver of the getaway vehicle are underway.

Provincial commissioner Lieutenant-General Elias Mawela has condemned the recent spate of multiple shootings in Gauteng.

“It is disheartening to see people that are enjoying themselves being targeted and attacked in this manner. The dedicated team of experts appointed has been instructed to leave no stone unturned to ensure justice for the victims,” said Mawela.

The visible policing directorate at the provincial office is, through partnership policing and social crime prevention, engaging liquor outlet owners to discuss and find solutions among other matters for the safety and security of patrons.

They are also focusing on gender-based violence perpetrated at these establishments at times.
