An alleged leader of the Junky Funky Kidz gang was shot and killed on Saturday night in Bonteheuwel while his girlfriend was wounded.
Police sources say just after 11pm, the 30-year-old man and his 20-year-old girlfriend were hit on the corner of Firethorn and Geelhout streets.
The man sustained a wound to his forehead, dying instantly, while his girlfriend was shot in her right shoulder.
The young woman was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Ward councillor, Angus McKenzie, says: “Little sympathy exists for gangsters from this community who terrorise our people.
“Late [on Saturday] night a gang leader was shot and murdered,” he said.
SAPS’ FC van Wyk says cases of murder and attempted murder are being investigated with no arrests made.
