Ethiopian national shot dead in apparent targeted hit in Johannesburg CBD.
A foreign national was gunned down at close range on the busy corner of Jeppe and Von Wielligh Streets in downtown Johannesburg.
CCTV footage shows the victim standing near a street stall when a man approaches and opens fire at close range without warning. The victim collapses instantly as the gunman calmly walks away through a crowded public space.
There was no visible robbery or altercation, strongly suggesting a deliberate, execution-style killing carried out in broad daylight.
The victim has been identified only as an Ethiopian national. Authorities have not released further details.
Motive remains unknown. No arrests have been made.
The South African Police Service is investigating.
