According to police spokesperson Captain Tintswalo Sibeko, the 56-year-old was fatally shot after an unknown BMW 1 Series with two occupants approached his vehicle and opened fire. The suspects fled the scene, and Morgan was declared dead when the authorities arrived.

Morgan was reportedly travelling with another man when their vehicle came under heavy gunfire. The motive for the shooting is still under investigation, and it remains unclear whether the second occupant was injured.
