Durbanville police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the murder of a man who was shot and killed inside his car on Friday evening.
Police cornered off the street of Village Lane as they attended to the crime scene while the deceased’s vehicle was parked in front of a complex.
Police spokesperson Warrant officer Joseph Swartbooi said that Durbanville police are investigating a murder case as the gunmen fled the scene and are yet to be arrested.
Swartbooi confirmed the incident and said: “Durbanville police responded to a complaint on Friday, 09 May 2025. Upon their arrival at Village Lane, Cobble Walk they found the body of a man who sustained gunshot wounds. The victim was declared deceased on the scene by the medical personnel. The unknown suspects who fled the scene are yet to be arrested.
"The motive for this attack is believed to be an argument. Durbanville police are investigating a murder."
Police are appealing to anyone with any information regarding this incident to please call Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or alternatively use the mobile application MySAPS anonymously.
When the Daily Voice contacted the Durbanville Community Policing Forum for comment, we were told to contact the Durbanville SAPS as they do not share any details with the CPF regarding ongoing investigations.
According to a source, it is alleged that the incident was due to a domestic issue between a husband, wife and third party so it is likely that there is a gunman on the loose.
