Simon Modihe (38) succumbed to his wounds the same evening, police spokesperson Captain Bonginkosi Msimango said.
Modihe was twice shot in the legs in chaos at the Tshwane events centre where an the ANC announced mayoral candidates for the local poll.
“The motive behind his killing is unknown at this stage but we are busy with investigations. No arrests have been named and a murder docket has been opened.”
Msimango could not say whether Modihe was a member of the ANC.
Pretoria West Sector 1 CPF chairperson Eric Cordier said an armed man fired shots at a group of people just after 16:00, wounding a man in the legs.
“The shooter ran into a shop, Steve’s Café, on the corner of President Burger and WF Nkomo streets chased by a group of people,” Cordier said.
“Inside the shop, he found a female worker, who then shut the doors as she noticed a mob of people trying to follow him.”
Cordier said the armed man escaped by jumping over the wall at the back of the shop.
