The court heard Ah-See had recently been released on parole when he threatened 27-year-old Saxton Burrows with a gun at an address in Loganlea about three months before the offence on October 4, 2020.

He told Mr Burrows, who was an old high school acquaintance, to stay out of Logan, saying: “You’ve got 24 hours to get your things out of Logan. You want to cross back into Logan, you have to ask for my permission first. If not I’ll come back and put this through your leg.” He said while gesturing to the gun in the bag.

Ah-See returned to the Loganlea residence where Burrows had staying with his partner at about 12.30am on October 4, 2020.

He came into the house, accompanied by an unknown man, and told Burrows: “I hear you’ve been talking shit.”

Before the victim was able to respond, Ah-See removed .22 pistol from his jacket, pointed at Burrows leg and shot him once.

He immediately put the gun back in his pocket and walked out the front door.

The victim was taken to Logan Hospital and was treated for a 5mm by 1cm gun shot entry wound on his leg.

X-rays revealed he also had metallic bullet fragments that had broken a bone that supports the ankle and lower leg muscle.

Judge Craig Chowdhury described the incident as a type of “gangland revenge shooting” featuring “appalling violence one might see in a (Quentin) Tarantino movie.”

The court heard Ah-See had a lengthy criminal history including conviction for drug trafficking.

Ah-See’s lawyer said he had struggled with drugs problems since his teen years, starting to cannabis before getting on ecstasy and meth.

He said Ah-See had family support from his uncle and aunt and also had a young daughter.

He was sentenced to five years imprisonment with parole eligibility date for June 3, 2022.
