Second man charged with Salt Ash murder a week after alleged accomplice was arrested

Strike Force Breve detectives have charged a man with murder, a week after an alleged accomplice was arrested over the death of man in Salt Ash.

Detectives investigating the shooting death of a drug dealer have charged a second man with the Salt Ash murder.

The man 26, of Raymond Terrace, was formally charged in Grafton on Friday, a week after an alleged accomplice was arrested at Raymond Terrace and later charged with murder.

Strike Force Breve investigators allege the two men were both at the scene of the alleged shotgun murder on Hideaway Place on the afternoon of August 29.

The man died at the scene after he was allegedly shot in the face at close range as he drove his Ford Ranger utility.

Police have repeatedly said the alleged murder was targeted.

A third man was also arrested on November 5.
