AN EYEWITNESS in a murder case is fighting for his life after he sustained a gunshot wound to the head in a drive-by shooting after he testified in court on Tuesday afternoon in Kleinvlei.<\/p>\n
The family of the victim said they just got home from Khayelitsha Magistrate\u2019s Court around 4.15pm when a white motor vehicle pulled over in Doring Crescent and fired multiple shots, hitting the 19-year-old man in the head and arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He survived the attack and was rushed to a medical facility for treatment.<\/p>\n
The teen\u2019s aunt explained that this is a double blow for the family as she lost her husband a month ago, also to gun violence and claims that the victims are not involved with any gangsterism.<\/p>\n
The aunt said: \u201cHe just came home from court where he testified in a murder case. He was standing on the corner when he got shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently, the car that they shot him from was at court, so they came specifically for him because he was the only one that was shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in the house when they came to call me. He is currently in a coma in the intensive care unit after he was shot in the head and in the arm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a double tragedy for the family because about a month ago they shot my husband inside the house. They came into the house and shot him dead.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was also not involved in any gangsterism. They want to smokkel in the area and the community is against that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The mother of the victim said: \u201cWe just got home from court, I went to lie down when they came to call me and say that my son was shot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police spokesperson Constable Ndakhe Gwala confirmed that an attempted murder case is under investigation.<\/p>\n
Gwala reported: \u201cThis office confirms that Kleinvlei police are investigating a case of attempted murder following a shooting incident that occurred at Doring Crescent, Kleinvlei at around 4.30 on Tuesday, 6 January 2026.<\/p>\n
