Cape Town – Former gang boss Ernest “Ernie Lastig” Solomon was shot and killed in Boksburg on Friday.
Solomon, 62, is the former gang leader of 28.
Police spokesman Capt Kay Makhubele says police are searching for four suspects in connection with the shooting incident, during which a child was also injured.
“The Gauteng police are looking for four suspects following a shooting Friday morning in Boksburg where three people, including a child, were injured and one person died,” Makhubela said.
The victims were inside a BMW when they were attacked by the gunmen.
“A white Ford Ranger is reported to have collided and intercepted a white BMW with four occupants inside. Two armed men reportedly got out of the Ford Ranger and began firing at the car, fatally wounding one, while three victims, including a child, were airlifted to hospital for urgent medical attention.
“The suspects allegedly abandoned the Ford Ranger at the scene and fled in a getaway car with an unknown description and an unknown registration number,” Makhubele adds.
He says the motive for the shooting has yet to be determined.
“The police are investigating murder and attempted murder cases. We appeal to anyone who may have information that may lead to the arrest of suspects to call the nearest police station or crime stop number 08600 10111. “
A photo of a man believed to be Ernie sitting behind the wheel of a car has circulated widely on social media. Man can be seen with tattoos on his right hand and leg.
In May, Solomon and his son Carlo were attacked in an alleged gang attack in Hawston. At the time, sources close to the investigation told the Daily voice Ernie was shot five times, while Carlo was shot three.
