Police are investigating two crime scenes

According to eNCA, which is live on the scene, police are investigating two crime scenes to piece together what happened. From the information gathered, it appears that a Mercedes-Benz rammed into a bakkie. The occupants of both vehicles traded shots, and one person in the bakkie was killed, while another was injured.

Approximately 500 metres away, a man with a gun was found under a Toyota Fortuner. The Fortuner, which suffered damage as if it were in an accident, came to a stop at the corner of Crownwood and Alwen roads. The right-hand side of the vehicle was also littered with bullet holes.
