Port Elizabeth police are investigating two cases of murder and one of attempted murder in Kleinskool in the city's northern areas.

She says 31-year-old Eugene George sustained several gunshot wounds and died on the scene, while the other three escaped unharmed.

In the second incident on Saturday morning, police investigating a shooting incident in Kleinskool found the body of a 19-year-old man who sustained a number of gunshot wounds.

She says the friend ran away, but was wounded in the buttocks and ankle.

Naidu says both incidents were gang-related, and no arrests have yet been made.
