A video of the shooting incident that took place on Thursday evening, 12 November 2026, on Kawfutuboistraat in Geyersvlijt is currently circulating on social media. The footage suggests that this was not a regular armed robbery, but possibly a targeted assassination attempt.
According to initial information from the police, this was believed to have been an armed robbery. However, the video footage casts a different light on the incident. The footage shows the victim being shot at repeatedly. Based on the footage, it appears that more than 20 shots were fired.
The incident occurred at approximately 6.46 p.m. near building number 3 on Kawfutuboistraat. The perpetrators left the scene in a black Toyota Noah.
Police have not yet provided official confirmation of the precise circumstances, the motive or whether this is in fact a murder case. There is also no official clarity yet on the condition of the victim.
The police investigation is ongoing. The footage raises questions about the motive behind the shooting and the earlier report that it involved a robbery.
Editorial note: As long as the victim’s death has not been officially confirmed, it is journalistically more careful to refer to a possible targeted assassination attempt or targeted shooting rather than an established murder. The number of shots should also be presented as a preliminary estimate.
