A 24-year-old man was allegedly shot to death on Wednesday morning in Windhoek’s Otjomuise neighbourhood.
The incident took place at the corner Beijing and Kitchener streets.
Chief inspector Elifas Kuwinga, Khomas police spokesperson, confirmed that the incident occurred. He said that the victim was reportedly sitting on the street with two of his friends when an unknown man approached them (the suspect).
“The suspect was on the phone when the deceased and his two friends heard him saying he was lost. When one of the friends told the suspect he must tell the person (on the phone) that he was in Beijing street, this seemed to have angered the suspect,” Kuwinga reported.
He said that the suspect then pulled out a gun and cocked it.
“This prompted the deceased to stand up and walk towards the suspect, asking him why he was cocking the firearm in front of them.
“Then the suspect shot the deceased once in the right side of the chest and again once at the back,” he added.
Kuwinga stated that the deceased told his friends that they had shot him before he fell.
“The friends then took the deceased home, where he died,” he said.
The identity of the suspect is not known and he has not been arrested. Police investigation continues.
