A loving dad of three has died in a hail of bullets after an argument with a suspected
gangster.
Cops say Clinton Geyer, 29, was shot multiple times just after 8am in Candytuft Street in Lentegeur, Mitchells Plain, on Sunday.
Close friends of Clinton’s say he had an argument with a known gangster who opened fire on him, pumping six bullets into his body.
It is unclear what the argument was about.
Clinton was rushed to hospital where doctors attempted to save his life, but he succumbed to his injuries.
On Wednesday, Clinton’s grieving widow was too distraught to speak to the Daily Voice, saying she was busy arranging his funeral.
The couple has one daughter and two sons.
Police spokesperson, Mihlali Majikela, explains: “A case of murder has been opened for investigation following a shooting incident that occurred on Sunday at approximately 8am in Candytuft Road, Lentegeur.

“He was taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment, however, he succumbed later due to his injuries.

One of Clinton’s best friends, who asked not to be identified, says he was a loving dad, a family man and a jack of all trades “ wie se hande vir niks verkeerd gestaan het nie”.
He says Clinton was planning to work on youth projects to help uplift the community.
“I was in prison and when I came out, we spoke of doing work together involving the youth and to guide the youth about their life choices,” the friend says.
“He did what he was good at to put food on the table.
“We didn’t always see eye-to-eye and two months ago we had a disagreement and just this week, I wanted us to reconnect because we grew up together and were like brothers, and now I won’t get the chance.
