Chloe Jade Mason death: Two men charged with murder over alleged shooting

Two brothers wanted over the alleged shooting death of a young woman at Caboolture last month have been charged with her murder.

Two brothers have been charged with the murder of a young woman after being arrested within metres of a Logan police station more than two weeks after she was shot.

Codye Thomson, 29, and Kaine Thomson-Gleeson, 32, were arrested without incident in parkland off Civic Parade at Logan about 2pm Monday, police said in a statement.

Both men were later charged with one count of murder. They were due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Chloe Jade “C.J.” Mason, 23, was allegedly chased by two men and shot dead on Railway Parade in Caboolture shortly after midnight on December 22.

Police provided CPR and first aid but she was declared dead at the scene.

The Brothers were arrested on Monday afternoon.

The Brothers were photographed by The Courier-Mail on the steps of a Railway Parade property later that day.

Detective Inspector David Harbison on Friday said the brothers — who spoke to detectives after the murder — were seen in New South Wales on December 30.

“The two male persons sought by police were located and interviewed as witnesses on that date along with a number of other witnesses,” Det Insp Harbison said.

“Those male persons were subsequently interviewed and released without charge, pending further investigations.

“At that early stage of the investigation there was simply insufficient evidence available to indicate their involvement with this homicide.”

Det Insp Harbison said police now had further information, leading to the murder arrest warrants, and detectives were “satisfied they had sufficient evidence” to bring the brothers before court.

He said police had also found a rifle in the street which was still undergoing forensic testing.

“The investigation has now established that the deceased was known to these male persons,” Det Insp Harbison said.

“The deceased attended Railway Parade and an altercation occurred.

“It is alleged the deceased received a gunshot wound during that altercation and subsequently died.”

The Brothers travelled through Chinderah in Northern NSW on December 30 and then as far south as Kempsey, Det Insp Harbison said.

They were believed to be camping or sleeping rough, he said.

The vehicle the men had allegedly been travelling in prior to their arrest, a white Holden Commodore wagon with Queensland registration 953 HO4, is yet to be located.

“Investigators have worked tirelessly to locate the accused and police appreciate the assistance we have received from the community,” Det Insp Harbison said.

Investigations remain ongoing.

The Courier-Mail previously revealed that Ms Mason’s former partner Kane Anderson was fatally stabbed in a brawl on Australia Day, 2020.
