Johannesburg – Four people were shot dead and a fifth wounded in a car in Midrand, Gauteng police said on Tuesday.

All the victims were passengers in a Toyota Tazz the shooter was driving, at the intersection of Jupiter and Whisken roads in Crowthorne in the early hours of Monday, police spokesperson Lungelo Dlamini said.

“The suspect apparently had an argument with one of the passengers and fatally shot him. He also fired shots at three other passengers, a man and two women.”

The victims were aged between 16 and 30.

Another passenger, a 30-year-old woman, was wounded.

Police believed they were returning from a party in Olievenhoutbosch.
