SHOOTING – One man was gunned down and left for dead in a suspected gang related drive by shooting along Govan Mbeki avenue in Port Elizabeth on Tuesday morning.
Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Alwin Labans said that four men were on their way to the Port Elizabeth magistrate’s court when the shooting incident occurred.

He said that the investigation was now being taken over by the gang task team.
No arrests have been made.
