- Screenshots of CCTV footage captured the murder of Cape Town Gang Unit detective Lieutenant Colonel Charl Kinnear.
- Kinnear was shot and killed in his car outside his home in Bishop Lavis on September 18.
- The footage shows a man loitering in the area before approaching Kinnear and pulling the trigger.
Screenshots of CCTV footage show the chilling moments before Detective Lieutenant Colonel Charl Kinnear of the Western Cape was shot and killed, as well as the shooting.
Images from the pictures, released by Netwerk24, show a man in a red hoodie and black Adidas sweatpants walking down Gearing Street in Bishop Lavis, where Kinnear lived. He also captured the moment when Kinnear was shot five times while sitting in his car outside his home.
The images were taken by several CCTV cameras while he was loitering in the area. But at 3:02:50 p.m., he was captured by Kinnear’s own security cameras.
He can be seen walking down the sidewalk in front of Kinnear’s house, his hands behind his back.
Thirty seconds later, the man can be seen next to Kinnear’s car, and although the image is slightly obscured, it appears that he is pointing a firearm at Kinnear. This was the moment when Kinnear was shot several times.
News24 previously reported that the video footage could be part of the murder investigation.

On Thursday, police arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with the murder of Kinnear, who was a senior member of the Anti-Gang Unit.
The man, who appeared in Bishop Lavis Magistrates Court on Friday, is former professional rugby player Zane Kilian.
Kilian was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and illegal wiretapping. The latest charge is believed to be related to the tracking of Kinnear’s cell phone.
He will appear in court again on October 5. More arrests are expected.
Police ‘failed’ Kinnear
In a statement, National Police Commissioner General Khehla John Sitole said: “We are all saddened by this tragic premature loss of Colonel Kinnear and his assassination is a great loss for South Africa and its people.”
Police Minister Bheki Cele said the police “failed” at Kinnear. The minister said this at a briefing on the Kinnear family’s driveway the day after their murder, after spending nearly an hour with Kinnear’s wife, Nicolette, and their children, Carlisle and Casleigh.
“I have to say that sadly right now, there are more questions than answers … but right now, as it stands, it seems we have failed as a cop. We could have done better.”
Cele said he would not hesitate to ask President Cyril Ramaphosa for additional resources, if necessary, to locate Kinnear’s killers.
