Mystery surrounds the brutal murder of a Port Elizabeth man who was found shot to death in Standford Road near Helenvale on Monday night.
Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Alwin Labans, said 28-year-old Bevon Kelly of Bloemendal was shot numerous times.
He said "eight cartridges and three projectiles" were found on the scene. Kelly died later in hospital.
Labans said police have ruled out robbery as a motive for the murder, adding that the killing was also not gang-related.
He says police believe that Kelly may have run out of fuel as a five-litre can of petrol was found next to his VW Golf.
Anyone who may have information that can assist the investigation should contact their nearest police station.
