Suspect held in D’Urban Street shooting probe

Feb 01, 2013 News

 

Police have detained a Norton Street, Wortmanville resident in connection with Wednesday’s shooting death of 47-year-old Allan Lloyd Profitt.
There are reports that the suspect, who is known to the police, was taken into custody after surveillance cameras on a nearby residence recorded the confrontation between Profitt and the gunman.
However, the motive for the shooting is still unknown.
Profitt, who made a living from selling scrap metal, was shot dead at around 07:00 hrs during a row with another man at the corner of D’Urban and Hardina Streets, Wortmanville, by a lone unmasked gunman.
One eyewitness said he saw Profitt and another man arguing before the man drew a handgun and shot the labourer in the head. The killer then walked unhurriedly away.
Profitt did odd jobs around town and stayed with his father in East Ruimveldt.
Another relative said that although the victim was a ‘junkie’ he was not considered to be a troublemaker.
