A five-year-old boy has been shot and killed in Lavender Hill in Cape Town.
Western Cape Police spokesperson FC van Wyk says a 22-year old man was also shot and wounded in the same incident. He was transported to a nearby hospital.
A murder and attempted murder case have been opened. Earlier this month, a ten-year-old girl was gunned down metres from her family home in Tafelsig when she was caught in gang crossfire.
Three suspects were arrested in that incident.
Van Wyk has more on the latest shooting, “The circumstances surrounding the shooting incident are under investigation. The injured victim was transported to a hospital for treatment. Anyone with any information about this fatal shooting incident is kindly requested to contact Steenberg Police or Crime stop on 0860010111. )
