Before releasing the pictures, police had described two of the suspects: one said to be tall, dark-skinned and slender with dreadlocks; the other was said to be short, dark-skinned and well-built. The men demanded mobile phones and valuables while a third man remained outside.
National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega told a press conference that Meyiwa was then shot once in the upper body as he moved towards the door. The three men then fled.
The footballer was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. His funeral is expected to take place on Saturday.
