After midday today, the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received a call from a member of the public reporting that a person was lying on the side of Riverside Road in the Durban North area.
Marshall Security Armed Response Officers and members of the Special Operations Team were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, members located a male who had sustained a gunshot wound and showed no signs of life.
Durban North SAPS, together with emergency medical services, were immediately contacted and arrived on scene shortly thereafter. The scene was secured and cordoned off by Marshall Security members prior to the arrival of SAPS.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear at this stage; however, it is believed that the shooting may have followed an altercation between individuals.
Durban North SAPS will be investigating further.
