Kwazulu-Natal (KZN) police have launched a hunt for four suspects involved in a deadly shooting in Phoenix, north of Durban.
Four people were killed on Gillham Road on Thursday.
KZN police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the suspects, travelling in a red Toyota Tazz, got out of the vehicle and shot at five security guards.
“Four security guards were declared dead at the scene, whereas the fifth one was rushed to hospital with gunshot injuries. It is not yet clear what kind of business activity is conducted at the office where the shooting happened.
“It is also suspected that the suspects robbed the victims of their firearms before fleeing from the scene.”
“Police are appealing to anyone who might have information about the whereabouts of the suspects or the possible motive of the killings to anonymously contact the nearest police station or call our crime stop number 08600 10111.”
According to Prem Balram from Reaction Unit South Africa, unknown number of suspects entered a car wash and opened fire at individuals believed to be linked to the drug trade.
