Shooting
According to a source, two suspects got out of the vehicle they were waiting in and attacked the suspected Varados gang leader.
“One got out of the car and shot him while he was exiting the parking lot. … the [other] one waited in a white Mercedes C200. After the hit was done, the [shooter] walked down to the car and that’s how they got away.”
Police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi confirmed “the victim” was leaving the gym when two unknown men accosted him.
“The police in Honeydew are investigating a case of murder following the fatal shooting of a man at 14th Avenue.
“It is reported that on 21 November 2023, the victim was leaving the gym when accosted by two unknown coloured men. They fired several shots at the victim and he was declared dead on the scene. The motive of the shooting is unknown at this stage and no suspects have been arrested as yet,”
Fast Guns gang leader
In January, the 38-year-old leader of the notorious Fast Guns gang Keenen Sheldon Ebrahim was also killed in an apparent hit, west of Johannesburg.
Ebrahim was driving in a white Mercedes Benz when he was shot at by unknown suspects who were driving in a silver Jetta 6.
“It is alleged that the deceased lost control of his vehicle and hit the pavement. The paramedics were called to the scene and took the victim to the nearest medical care centre where he was certified dead,” police spokesperson Colonel Mavela Masondo said at the time.
Masondo added that the motive for the killing could not be confirmed.
The murder of the gang leader caused tensions with other rival gangs in and around Westbury.
