CAPE TOWN - One of the boys charged with torturing and killing a stray dog has been shot dead in Manenberg.

The 17-year-old, Junaid Davids, was murdered in Rhone Walk yesterday.

Davids was one of eight boys facing animal cruelty charges, after a video showed how a dog was stoned to death.

Police say Davids was shot in the chest and died on the scene.

A 30-year-old man was also wounded.

It's alleged they were standing in the street when they were caught in a hail of gunfire.

There have been no arrests.

Meanwhile, all the boys identified in the animal cruelty video have been formally charged.

The remaining seven are to appear in court and will see social workers.

Davids is being laid to rest in Manenberg today.
