Police said preliminary investigations revealed that a group of unknown men opened fire on three occupants, killing two and seriously wounding another.
It is understood that the gunmen were on the run.
“Gauteng police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting deaths of two people. The motive for the murder has yet to be determined. The police are looking for the suspects and are asking anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects to contact the nearest police station or call Crime Stop, ”said police spokeswoman Captain Mavela Masondo.
Meanwhile, as rush hour traffic increases, Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) spokesperson Xolani Fihla urged motorists to use alternative routes.
Xavier is locked, that’s eastbound. Traffic is slow on the M1 South between the Booysens Highway exit and the Xavier Bridge. Motorists have to be patient during this period and that is due to the crime scene, ”he said.
