One killed another injured in late night Pinewood shooting

A MAN was shot and killed while sitting in a vehicle on Sugar Apple Street late Saturday night, while another man was left seriously injured in a separate but related shooting nearby.

Police said the incident unfolded around 11pm in Pinewood Gardens. A woman told officers she and her husband were in a silver Nissan Tiida searching for a co-worker when a Nissan Cube pulled alongside them and an occupant opened fire.

Her husband was shot in the chest and taken to hospital, where he later died.

A second man, who was outside speaking with the victim, told police he knew the deceased. He said another vehicle approached, the driver briefly spoke with the victim, then fired multiple shots before fleeing.

The second victim was shot in the right leg and taken to hospital by private vehicle. He remains in serious condition.

Police are searching for the suspects.
