NSW Police reported this morning that the masked gunman who opened fire on a man standing in a driveway before fleeing in a getaway car is still on the run more than three months after the incident.
It was just before 2am on January 21 when the 33-year-old male victim was shot on the drive-way of a Condell Park home. The balaclava-clad criminal fled in a nearby white Toyota Corolla hatch following the horrific incident.
According to police records, the car was last seen traveling towards Jocarm Avenue with no further traces. The victim however was treated at Bankstown Hospital for two gunshot puncture wounds and has since been released from hospital.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Criminal Groups Squad have released CCTV footage of the botched assassination attempt, urging anyone who might have details to come forward.

“As part of their inquiries, investigators have released CCTV of a man they believe can assist with their inquiries,” NSW Police Force wrote on their Facebook page. “The person is depicted as male, between 180cm-190cm tall, of large build, and wearing dark shorts, a white t-shirt, dark hooded vest with white motif on the back, and dark runners with white soles. Anyone who knows the man or has any information about the vehicle is urged to come forward.”
The shooting is one of several other gun-related incidents to have shaken Sydney’s Western suburbs over the last month. Last week, the NSW Police Force released footage of another masked gunman open firing on a man who was walking into his family home. Earlier this month, another gunman reportedly shot two men at a Five Dock apartment. Only one of the victims survived with a gunshot wound to the shoulder.
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Waincourt detectives is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au.
