He went into cardiac arrested and shortly after, paramedics from Medi Response and Netcare 911 declared him dead at the scene.
Officials broke the news to the victim's mother who was at the scene.
Police combed the scene for details of what occurred.
A woman who takes her daily walk in the area told us she saw the altercation break out and that at that moment, everyone on the pier started running.
Witnesses at the scene say they saw the two men fighting(pushing and punching) each other before a gun was pulled out and a shot was fired. @ECR_Newswatch they say the sound sent everyone on the pier running pic.twitter.com/23ZS2dDuKl
