The bodies of the two men still lay in the car one of them in the driver's seat and the other in the back passenger seat.
Forensics arrived a short while later and began collecting evidence from the scene.
At some point they'd already counted 32 bullet casings that lay scattered around the vehicle.
e-Hailing operators also started arriving on the scene.
One of them told Newswatch the vehicle the victims were in was an e-haling taxi.
