Parent gunned down at PE school was taxi boss


A man who was gunned down outside his child's school in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday has been identified as a 43-year-old taxi boss.

Spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu says the victim was waiting in his car for his 35-year-old wife who had just dropped their 9-year-old son off at school.

She says the moment the wife got back into their Audi Q7 an unknown person approached the vehicle and fired a shot through the driver's side.

A second suspect then also approached and fired two more shots.

The men got into a waiting white VW Polo and fled the scene.

The wife was not injured in the shooting but taken to hospital.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound to his head, neck and shoulder and died at the scene.

Police suspect that he was the target of the shooting.

His name is known to Algoa FM News but is still being withheld.
