HOMICIDE detectives have issued an arrest warrant for a gang associate who allegedly helped organise a hit on a teenage boy.
It is believed Abdul Abu-Mahmoud, who was associated with the Brothers for Life gang, is in Thailand but negotiations are underway to get him back to Australia.
Police issued a warrant for his arrest for murder over a week ago, following a story in The Sunday Telegraph about the hunt for Mr Abu-Mahmoud,
He left the country around the time police arrested the gunman allegedly responsible for shooting dead 15-year-old Brayden Dillon on Good Friday in 2017.
Police allege Brayden was killed in retribution for his older brother, Joshua Dillon, stabbing another young man a year prior.
That young man was the nephew of Mr Abu-Mahmoud — nicknamed Chokolatta for the cafe he once ran in Bankstown.
It was a haunt for BFL associates at the height of the gang’s internal war in 2014.
Mr Abu-Mahmoud was shot outside the cafe by members of the rival BFL Blacktown chapter in 2013.

Police turned their focus to Mr Abu-Mahmoud after learning he allegedly threatened Joshua Dillon at his court appearance and threatened to kill his family.
It will also be alleged Mr Abu-Mahmoud was in contact with Conrad Craig, 27, in the weeks leading up to Brayden’s murder inside his Glenfield home.
Craig is accused of breaking into the family home, waving Brayden’s mother off with a gun before shooting the teenager as he slept.
He has been charged with murder but has not entered a plea.
The fresh arrest warrant comes after police arrested two people — including Craig’s sister and an associate of Mr Abu-Mahmoud — this month as part of the investigation.
Kimberley Craig and Torek Ayoub are accused of organising false affidavits on behalf of other people.
