Kewtown drive-by shooting leaves 11-year-old girl injured

On Friday, a drive-by shooting in Kewtown, South Africa, resulted in the death of a 19-year-old and injuries to an 11-year-old girl, a 14-year-old, and a 27-year-old. Police reported that an unknown vehicle fired randomly at individuals near the intersection of Klappersbos and Springbok Streets. The motive remains unclear, and no arrests have been made. Ward councillor Rashid Adams noted that details about the victims' ages and the reasons behind the attack are still under investigation. In a related development, police arrested a 22-year-old man connected to the shooting of 2-year-old Emilio Lindeman Jr., who was critically injured on July 4. The suspect appeared in court, and the case was postponed. Emilio remains hospitalized, with doctors warning of potential paralysis if the bullet in his collarbone is removed.
