Family dispute led to gun murder of Ali Jammas, police allege

A LONG dispute between two families was allegedly behind the death of a man shot dead in front of his young children.

A LONG dispute between two families was allegedly behind the shooting death of a man.

Ali Jammas, 36, was gunned down while putting his rubbish bins on the street outside his Abbotsbury home in July.

Early yesterday, police arrested Mahmoud Barakat, 28, at a house in Yagoona and charged him with the murder.

A second man, David Younes, 27, was charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder.

Police homicide squad boss Superintendent Mick Willing said the charging of two men three months after the killing was proof police would find the people responsible for shootings in Sydney.

"The message is we will come knocking on the doors of those responsible ... sometimes months or years later.

"We don't give up, we act methodically and we get results," Supt Willing said.

Mr Jammas died at the scene about 10am in Thorpe Place on July 12.

"We will allege Mr Jammas was in a dispute with the family of the 28-year-old, which led to his death," Supt Willing said.

Police said that while Mr Jammas had links to the Hell's Angels outlaw motorcycle gang, they did not believe that association had anything to do with his murder.

Barakat and Younes were both refused bail when they appeared in Bankstown court yesterday.
