A twenty one year old man has been killed after allegedly being shot in Pietermaritzburg.
ER24 paramedics were called to the scene of suspected mugging on the corners or Bombay and Old Grey Road. It is believed that a young woman in her late twenties, was walking up to New Grey Road when two unknown men approached her. It is further believed that the 21 year old man saw them apparently hassling the young lady, and he went over to see if he could assist her.
The men then allegedly shot the man, and wounded him in his stomach. Sadly, he was declared dead at the scene due to the severity of the injury.
The woman was in shock, but she refused to be taken to hospital as she had not sustained any physical injury.
The Northdale Police attended the scene, and will be investigating the incident.
