When five attackers arrived in a BMW X5 and smashed their way into the house through the front door, Louw took action.
Initially, Louw opened the door when the suspect knocked, feigning to be looking for another residence. When firearms were spotted, the teen tried to close the door. He was overpowered as the suspects burst into the house. Two shots rang out; one struck the teen in the chest. His mother managed to convince the suspects to allow her to drive her son to a hospital. Meanwhile, the gang of intruders stole cellphones and laptops.
They fled on foot to vehicles hidden at a nearby farm.
Reports say the victim died at a hospital moments after his dad arrived for a final farewell.
