Selcourt business owner shot dead, woman dies in hospital after workshop attack
A deadly shooting inside a Selcourt workshop on June 13 left a business owner and a woman dead, and two others wounded. Police are searching for two armed suspects who fled in a getaway vehicle.
A 35-year-old Selcourt business owner and a 27-year-old woman were shot on Phoenix Road on June 13.
The incident happened in the morning. The business owner was declared dead at the scene, while the woman was transported to the hospital, where she later died. Two others were wounded.
Sergeant Themba Tshabalala, spokesperson for Springs SAPS, said the owner was in the workshop with the woman when the shooting occurred.
Tshabalala said two armed men entered through the main workshop door, walked up to them, and opened fire.
“The owner was shot eight times and died at the scene.
“The two suspects fled in a maroon or brown Toyota Avanza or Suzuki SUV. Some employees ran after them and reported hearing them speak in Zulu,” he said.
According to Tshabalala, nothing was taken from the business, and the motive remains unclear.
