TimesLIVE reports that four security guards died in Phoenix when gunmen stormed a car wash and opened fire on Thursday. A fifth person was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda said a search was underway for four suspects who shot at five people in Gillham Road in Westham, Phoenix. He reported that the four suspects in a Toyota Tazz stopped at the car wash, got out the vehicle and fired shots at security guards guarding the office. “It is not yet clear what business activity is conducted at the office where the shooting happened,” said Netshiunda. Reports from the scene suggest the assassination was linked to a drug turf war. It is believed the suspects robbed the victims of their firearms before fleeing the scene.
