Haunting CCTV captures last hours of underworld figure Marvin Oraiha at Westfield before death

Terrifying CCTV footage has captured the moment two men appear to watch Sydney underworld figure Marvin Oraiha walking through a shopping centre, hours before he was gunned down.

Terrifying CCTV footage has captured the moment two men appear to watch Sydney underworld figure Marvin Oraiha as he walks through a busy shopping centre just hours before a gunman shot him dead and then threatened to fire on innocent bystanders.

As NSW Police continue to hunt for Oraiha’s killer, detectives have released footage of a man they believe may have information on the last movements of the 24-year-old.

Footage shows the man watching as Oraiha shops with his girlfriend at Westfield in Pitt Street Mall barely three hours before he was murdered in broad daylight last May.

During their investigation, police pieced together a timeline of what they believe happened from painstakingly gathering and pouring through hours of footage from cameras around the crime scene.

The CCTV first shows Oraiha at Westfield in Pitt Street, Sydney, about 1.10pm on May 22 last year, seemingly being watched by two males who are texting on their mobile phones.

As Oraiha reaches the top of the escalator, the men appear to turn to watch him as he passes them.

Oraiha, 24, was gunned down in the driveway of his Elizabeth Hills home on May 22, 2023.

Less than three hours later Oraiha was dead.

Detectives believe the man may be able to help them with their investigation into the death of Oraiha. There is no suggestion he was involved in Mr Oraiha’s death.

Next, CCTV captures an unknown individual, dressed in a black Under Armour hooded jumper, parking his black Mercedes on Boomerang Road in Edensor Park at 3pm – before retrieving a bag from a dark coloured Toyota Kluger and returning to his car.

By 3.35pm the Mercedes meets a white Audi on Eber Ave in Elizabeth Hills – a short distance away from Mr Oraiha’s house.

Two men travelling in the Mercedes, one carrying the backpack, get into the Audi which continues onto Hertfordshire Street to wait for Oraiha, while the Mercedes returns to Edensor Park.

Just before 4pm, the gunmen jumped into action, killing Oraiha in a hail of his bullets as he sat in his car in the driveway.

Oraiha was known to have links to Alen Moradian, a senior Comanchero bikie, who himself was shot dead in mid-2023. Picture: Facebook

Detectives have also released shock CCTV of the moment the gunmen run from Oraiha’s home, pointing a handgun at a number of people on a suburban street as they make their getaway.

Police have already charged seven people in relation to the shooting, and they remain before the courts.

In the lead up to his death, Oraiha was in the company of Alen Moradian, one of Sydney’s biggest criminals and senior member of the feared “Commission” which controlled the supply and price of drugs coming into Australia.

Three weeks later Moradian himself was executed as he sat in his car in an underground carpark at Bondi Junction in one of the biggest hits of Sydney’s gangland war.
