Gqeberha police are on the hunt for four suspects who allegedly shot and killed a 31-year-old man busy with deliveries in Missionvale on Thursday.

Spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg says police were called out to Livingstone Hospital after the victim, Abdikarm Kamil was brought in with a gunshot wound to the chest.

She says he was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle after the shooting.

A witness told police that they were busy with deliveries when they were confronted by four armed suspects who demanded cell phones and cash.

Janse van Rensburg says they fired a shot at Kamil, before fleeing on foot.

Kamil was a Kenyan National.

She says January had been shot multiple times in the upper body.

The motive for the shooting is unknown and a case of murder is under investigation.
