Police in Gqeberha are investigating a case of murder and attempted murder following an alleged gang-related shooting incident in Sherwood on Monday.
Spokesperson Captain Sandra Janse van Rensburg says a 35-year-old man was shot dead while two other alleged gang affiliates were wounded.
She says according to information at their disposal, the victim, Dawet Aleme phoned his friends to assist him with his VW Jetta, which had broken down.
Four men driving a Kia, arrived at the BUCO parking lot at about 5 pm to assist Aleme when a white Nissan NP200 bakkie arrived with four suspects.
Captain Janse van Rensburg says two people were seated in front of the bakkie and two at the back, who started firing shots.
She says Aleme was shot in the back and stomach and was rushed to hospital where he later died.
His two friends also sustained gunshot wounds and were taken to hospital for treatment.
The Gang Unit has taken over the investigation.
