Cape Town - Police are still looking for those responsible for the killing of three men shot inside a fisheries in Lotus River on Wednesday.
Police spokesperson Novela Potelwa said the three men believed to be in their twenties were shot by an unknown gunman on Wednesday afternoon.
“A preliminary report suggests two of the victims had just walked into a food outlet business in Klip Road when the gunman followed them, fired several shots inside the business killing the two men and another, who is believed to be an assistant at the fisheries. The gunman subsequently fled the scene,” Potelwa said.
In a statement the Grassy Park Community Policing Forum (CPF) said two men believed to be members of a gang from Lavender Hill went into the fisheries at the corner of Klip and Zeekoe streets where they opened fire inside the shop killing two gang members and a shop assistant and fled on a motorcycle.
CPF chairperson Melvin Jonkers said the forum and community was shocked and disturbed that the shooting happened while the community was still reeling from the shock of the death of Nehemiah Classen in Parkwood.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact the police on 08600 10111.
