The shooting took place on the corner of 7th Avenue and Webner Street earlier on Wednesday and the shooter is still at large.
The Ravensmead CPF’s Zelda Trantaal said: “He is Tyron Philander; he is 32-years old. I spoke to the mother and she confirmed that he is the brother of Vernon Philander.”
She said it’s still unclear what happened: “They don’t know what happened. They were in the yard, busy with the washing and they heard shots.”
