On Friday morning, a 43-year-old man from Walmer Township was shot dead in front of a busy taxi rank next to the Lilian Diedericks Municipal Building.
The deceased still had his car keys in his hand and he died from a single bullet wound to the left side of the face which was also fired at close range.
