A TEENAGER will appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court tomorrow on three counts of attempted murder.
The 19-year-old suspect, who police say is a known gangster, allegedly shot at a man in Kobus Road, Gelvandale on January 1 before moving on to shoot two other people.
The victim of the Kobus Road shooting told police he was being robbed by a gang the man was affiliated to at the time of the shooting.
Later that same day a 43-year-old man who was asleep in his house heard noises outside and went to investigate.
He was shot in the left leg.
The third victim, a 21-year-old woman, was walking in Kobus Road when she was shot in the right knee. Police say she was not the intended victim.
Police spokeswoman Colonel Priscilla Naidu said the suspect was arrested on Wednesday by the Visible Gang Intervention Team (VGIT) in Gelvandale.
She added that he has been linked to all three incidents.
Police are appealing to resident to come forward and report criminals. Information can be reported anonymously on 086-0010-111 or to 082-387-6320.
All information reported to police will be treated as strictly confidential said Naidu.
