Detectives investigating the shooting murder of Zac Davies-Scott in front of his family have released closed circuit television footage of a man they believe could “assist with inquiries, but have not elaborated why.

Mr Davies-Scott, a 25-year-old also known as Donnie, was shot moments after several people crashed their way through his family’s home on Traders Way at Heddon Greta on the night of December 27 last year.

He died at the scene in front of his pregnant fiance, parents and grandparents while two toddlers were also inside when the deadly home invasion occurred about 10.50pm.

Strike Force Roslyn was established to investigate the murder, with detectives confirming Mr Davies-Scott’s was believed to be drug-related.

Police said they were also keen to collect more information about any drug-related “conflict or issues” Mr Davies-Scott had experienced leading up to the murder and had released CCTV of a white SUV speeding away from the scene moments after the shooting.

In February 2023, strike force detectives seized a white 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander from a street in Boolaroo.

On Wednesday, police released CCTV showing a male at a service station in Lambton.

The man is described as being of caucasian appearance, solid build, with dark hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt with white Nike logo, black shorts, baseball cap, a cross-body bag and white shoes.

Homicide squad Commander Detective Acting Superintendent Virginia Gorman, said investigators were interested in speaking with this man as he may be able to assist with their inquiries but did not say why police wished to speak to him.

“Anyone who recognises this man – or has any information at all that could assist this investigation – is urged to come forward. We believe someone must know something, and no piece of information is too small,” Det acting Supt Gorman said.

“Our detectives are examining every piece of CCTV, looking at every clue, and following every lead. We will not stop until we have brought those responsible for Zac’s death to justice.”
