THE POLICE have requested assistance in locating the family of a person who was fatally shot in Bosman Street in Kuruman on September 23, 2023.
SAPS spokesperson, Sergeant Molefi Shemane, stated that the body of the deceased had not been claimed for burial since the shooting.
“At the time of the incident, the deceased - an unknown African male between the age of 25 and 35 - was wearing a two-piece grey work suit with black boots. The deceased is approximately 1,7 metres tall and has no scars or tattoos.
“The possibility exists that the deceased may be an undocumented person.”
