Western Cape police are searching for two armed suspects who shot and killed a three-month-old boy in Bonteheuwel near Cape Town.
Police say the gunmen stormed into the house on Friday morning, firing several shots at a woman who was in the home.
The baby was killed in the shooting, which is suspected to be linked to gang violence.
