Anti-Gang unit detectives are investigating a deadly gang-related shooting outside the Mitchells Plain on Monday, 25 August.

Four armed suspects surprised them and fired numerous gunshots.

 

One man died on the scene, while the second victim was transported to a nearby hospital with serious gunshot wounds.

 

The suspects fled the scene, and they are yet to be arrested.
