This morning a man was shot in the neck outside the Cape High Court, and is currently fighting for his life. His attackers are unknown and immediately fled the scene. According to people who know the victim, he was attending a murder trial involving five members of the Junky Funkie Gang.

A bystander, Junior Ngumbi, explains what happend:

I was walking with a client towards the court on Keerom Street in Cape Town around noon when I heard a gunshot and a woman screaming. I then saw a man flee the scene in a white Toyota Conquest and another man lying on the corner of Leeuwen and Keerom with blood pouring from his neck. There was lots and lots of blood but I could see he was still conscious.

According to the police’s Frederick van Wyk, the suspect “is a Coloured male. He threw away his firearm about 30 metres from the scene.” The victim was apparently walking with his cousin, who is currently out on bail.
