Some early reported Police theories on this early morning's Belmore murder.

Police believe Belmore shooting linked to Mahmoud Ahmad’s murder

Rami Iskander, 24, is dead and police are investigating after the second fatal shooting in Sydney’s south-west this week.

'Iskander had just returned to the duplex he shared with his heavily pregnant wife and their two-year-old child, when he was shot on the driveway by at least two gunmen.

'Detectives have two primary theories about the death - that Iskander was involved in the attack on Tarek and Omar Zahed at Auburn’s Bodyfit gym on Tuesday this week and was killed as revenge, or that he was threatening to avenge his uncle’s murder and was killed before he got the chance.

A perceived slight on another organised crime figure’s wife is also a theory.'

NSW Police media conference about 2 hours ago.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Was the latest victim known for gangland activity or chosen because he was a relative of a nemesis (and presumably an east & unprotected target). If the later is true, that would be a serious escalation if innocents are being targeted in retaliation.

Edit. Sound like he doesn’t have an extensive criminal history but possibly was plotting to avenge the death of his uncle.

Go listen to this morning's media conference I posted before your post.
That's as much info as you will get.
All the media reports since then have no more than what was said at this media conference.
But there is a bit more more said in the media conference than in media articles as a result of it.

Didn’t see it but thanks. Now I have.

Unfortunately he died but I don’t think he was coming home from work at the time of his murder. I wonder what he was out doing? Having a quiet drink?

Imagine if he was involved in the shooting from a few days ago and now he's dead days later.

How pointless.

One line of inquiry being explored is whether the 23-year-old was targeted for planning to avenge the fatal shooting of his uncle, underworld figure Mahmoud "Brownie" Ahmad, who was gunned down in Greenacre last month.

Another theory is whether Mr Iskander was involved in the shooting of senior Comanchero bikie Tarek Zahed, 41, and younger brother Omar at an Auburn gym last Tuesday.

SIMply fraudulent (allegedly).

No idea how these darkly colourful alleged criminals, think they will get away with crimes like this for too long nowadays.
Maybe the planned getaway strategy, is to disappear overseas, and some of them leave it too late to do this.
