Yet another child has fallen victim to gang violence on the Cape Flats — the third in less than a week. Police representative Captain Rod Beer said on Friday Desmone Smith (10) was playing outside her house in Gesiggie Street in Kalksteenfontein when a gunfight erupted between rival gangs on Thursday night.
Smith was hit in the head and taken to the Tygerberg Hospital where she died early on Friday.
Last Friday evening Tyrone September (6) was shot dead while playing in Ravensmead and on Tuesday evening Miquela Appollis (9) was shot dead in Steenberg. – Sapa
