Two men shot and killed in PE's northern areas


Port Elizabeth police are searching for two suspects who shot and killed two men in separate incidents in the city's northern areas on Saturday.

Spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu says it is alleged that 26-year old Nealon Warricker was walking in Coetzee Street in Salt Lake with two friends when four men approached them from the opposite direction.

She says Warricker and his friends started running away after seeing a firearm in the one of suspect's hand.

The suspect chased after Waricker and fired several shots at him.

He died at the scene.

The other two did not sustain any injuries.

In the second incident on Saturday evening, a 23-year-old man was fatally wounded when an unknown suspect fired through an open door of his shack in Bloemendal.

Colonel Naidu says it is alleged that Virgil Fortuin was watching TV with his girlfriend in his shack in the Danny Jordaan informal settlement when someone from outside called him.

She says he did not go outside, but as he stood up, several shots were fired through the door.

He sustained two gunshot wounds and died at the scene.

The motives for the attacks are still unknown and cases of murder are under investigation.
