Violence shook the quiet community of Mzomusha in Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal, on Friday evening, 23 May 2025, leaving four people dead.
Police have now launched a manhunt for two suspects believed to be responsible for the brutal attack at a local home.
Shooting Outside the House Claims Two Lives Instantly
According to reports, two men aged 31 and 35 were outside the property when the suspects showed up.
Without warning, they opened fire, killing both men on the spot.
The sudden violence stunned neighbours and set off a terrifying chain of events inside the house.
Armed Robbery Turns Deadly Inside the Home
The suspects then forced their way inside where three people were present.
They demanded money and drugs from a 29-year-old woman living there.
During a struggle, one of the suspects allegedly shot her multiple times.
The attackers ransacked her belongings and took an undisclosed sum of cash.
Tragically, a 14-year-old girl was also caught in the crossfire.
She was shot several times and died at the scene, leaving the community reeling in grief.
Survivors Escape and Motive Remains Under Investigation
Thankfully, another woman inside the home and a man who fled after hearing the gunfire managed to escape unharmed.
Police suspect robbery was the main motive behind this horrific crime, but they are also considering the possibility that a dispute over drugs might have played a role.
