Dylan Sequera enters plea over historic shooting at Livingstone Hotel Petersham

It took six years to hunt down a man involved in a shooting at a pub in Sydney’s inner west. He has now entered a plea over the shocking incident.

A man has come clean about shooting up a pub in Sydney’s inner west almost seven years ago.

Dylan Sequera, 38, from Ashfield, was sensationally arrested and charged last year over a historic shooting at Livingstone Hotel in Petersham, which dated back to December 2014.

Police spent years tracking him down and released CCTV footage of Sequera in 2018 in an attempt to identify the gunman.

Police released this image of Sequera in an attempt to locate him.

When he was eventually caught in September last year, police charged him with serious offences related to the shooting and an alleged attack on a security guard at the New Canterbury Rd hotel.

However, the charges were downgraded on Thursday (June 10) when he appeared back in Central Local Court.

Sequera pleaded guilty to one count of firing a firearm at a building with a disregard for safety while two further charges were dropped.

Sequera beamed into the courtroom from prison on video link and sat quietly as his lawyer entered a plea of guilty.

Court documents revealed Sequera “did discharge a firearm at the Livingstone Hotel” in Petersham on the night of December 27, 2014. No-one was injured in the shooting.

Magistrate Robert Williams committed him for sentence in the NSW District Court and he will be back in court next month.

He did not apply for bail and remains in custody on remand.
