Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo, the spokesperson for the Gauteng police, stated that the attackers had a gun and had forced Fleurs out of his car before shooting him in the upper body.
In a social media post, Kaizer Chiefs conveyed their deep sorrow for the death and offered their sincere sympathies to Fleurs’ friends and family during this difficult time. The case is being aggressively investigated by the South African Police Service (SAPS), which has promised to offer more details as the inquiry moves forward.
We regret to inform you that Luke Fleurs, a player for the Kaizer Chiefs, unfortunately lost his life last night in a hijacking incident that occurred in Johannesburg.
During this trying time, our prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends.
