A murder case has been opened and police have launched a manhunt for two men.
Nel said that Reed’s brother phoned them 20 minutes after the shooting.
His father, also Johan, identified his body on the scene.
Nel described the father of a five-year-old boy as a loving and kind person.
“He was a friendly and outgoing person. Everyone he met liked him. He was a gym fanatic and a giant.”
On Tuesday morning, Reed’s Facebook page was flooded with comments.
“RIP Johan, may you fly high with the angels, I watched you grow up at Aunty Maureen's house with Jacques and the rest of the gang. My fondest memory is our games of pool at Ball Breakers. My deepest & heartfelt condolences to the family, may you somehow find some peace in this terrible time. As a mother who lost a boy too, I will hold you in my prayers as I feel your pain. May God wrap his arms around you !” a comment read.
A second comment read: “Going to miss you buddy.”
