A 46-year-old gang affiliate was arrested early on Sunday morning for the alleged murder of a teenager in Helenvale on Saturday night.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Pricilla Naidu says it is alleged that 16-year old Damian Dennis and his friends were standing in Deveril Road when two suspects, who were known to them, fired shots at the group.
She says Dennis sustained a bullet wound to the upper body and died at the scene.
Naidu says members of the Anti-Gang Unit were patrolling in Helenvale in the early morning hours when they saw one of the suspects standing in the doorway of a house in Bongo Street.
He was arrested and is expected to appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court this week on a charge of murder.
