"The motive for the shooting and the events preceding it are unclear and will form the subject of a South African Police Services investigation."
Van Reenen says they were then alerted to reports of a botched hijacking in the Sherwood area.
A man was shot dead on Jan Smutts Highway.
"Further information ascertained alleges that the deceased and his accomplices attempted to hijack a man at gunpoint when the victim fired a shot in defence of his life, killing the man. His accomplices fled in an unknown direction."
