A 35-year-old woman, believed to be a lawyer, was shot dead on Monday near the corner of Fox and Joubert streets in Johannesburg.
The shooting occurred close to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
Police spokesperson Captain Tintswalo Sibeko said officers responded to a complaint of a shooting incident. Upon arrival at the scene, they found the body of a woman with gunshot wounds. She was declared dead at the scene.
Sibeko said preliminary reports indicate that the deceased had been followed by two unknown suspects, who allegedly opened fire on her before fleeing the scene on foot.
“The motive for the attack will form part of the investigation. No arrests have been made at this stage. Police are investigating a case of murder,” she said.
Anyone with information that may assist in the investigation is urged to contact their nearest police station or call the Crime Stop number at 08600 10111.
