PORT ELIZABETH - RIVAL GANGSTERS AMBUSH CARLITOS GANG MEMBERS, KILLING 1 AND SHOOTING ANOTHER IN THE FACE

Keenan Visagie, 18, was shot dead while one of two accompanying 19-year-olds was injured during a suspected ambush by a rival gang.

The shooting happened at about 3:40am on Sunday.

Visagie and two others were walking through an open field in Briton Crescent, Bethelsdorp.

Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the three teenagers, all believed to be members of the Carlitos gang, were ambushed by three suspected rival gangsters who were hiding behind a tree.

“They started firing at them and the three men turned around and fled back across the field,” she said.

“As they ran pass a wall to escape the shooting, another two suspects appeared from behind the wall and fired at them.”

Naidu said Visagie was shot in the upper body while a 19-year-old was shot in the face.

The third victim managed to escape unscathed.
