Alleged gang boss Kenny Morgan was killed on Wednesday
Image: File
Morgan is the second alleged figure of the Fast Guns gang to be assassinated in recent years.
In February 2023, Keenan Sheldon Ebrahiem was shot dead in Florida under similar circumstances.
At the time, police reported that Ebrahiem was driving a Mercedes-Benz when gunmen in a silver VW Jetta 6 opened fire.
He lost control of the vehicle, hit the pavement, and later died in the hospital.
The Fast Guns are based largely on the West Rand.
Authorities have urged anyone with information on Morgan's killing to contact the Crime Stop line on 08600 10111 or submit anonymous tip-offs via the MySAPS App.
