Keshtiar punched a nightclub employee in the face after some jostling broke out near the club’s back door. He and a friend left the Dome, but walked around to the front where Keshtiar pulled a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at the face of another employee, before shooting him in the thigh.

In 2017, 26-year-old plasterer Zabi Ezedyar was gunned down in Melbourne’s south-east, after becoming the victim of a botched hit targeting Keshtiar soon after he was released from prison.

Ezedyar was being greeted at the front door of Keshtiar’s parents’ home about 7.45pm on August 16 that year and was shot several times from behind. He died on the footpath outside. Homicide squad detectives said at the time that while the gunman had gone to his intended address, he had wrongly shot Ezedyar.
