Johannesburg - A 33-year-old man was shot dead at his home near Kagiso in Johannesburg on Thursday morning, West Rand police said.

"The man was sleeping when he heard someone knock on the door around 03.20. When he opened the door, he found a man pointing a firearm at him," said inspector Solomon Sibiya.

"He apparently tried to turn around to run away, but without uttering a word the man fired a shot, hitting him on the right shoulder."

He died at the scene and the gunman fled.

The incident happened at a house in Rietvallei near Kagiso.

The man's 27-year-old girlfriend, their six-month-old baby and three-year-old child were in the house at the time. They were not injured.

The man was believed to be from Mozambique, but he had a South African identity document, said Sibiya.

West Rand police were investigating, he said.
