New vision of the Sydney gangland murders of a father and son in Sydney’s west shows the gunman tripping over before firing his weapon.
Toufik and Salim Hamze were shot dead while sitting in a ute outside their home on Osgood Street near Woodville Road just before 9am on October 20, 2021.
Salim, an 18-year-old gangster, died at the scene.
His innocent father, 64, was taken to Westmead Hospital but later died.
CCTV released by NSW Police on Friday shows a silver Lexus SUV stopped on Osgood Street, before a man – dressed in all black and wearing a balaclava – exited the vehicle and ran towards a stationary red utility.
The man falls over, before getting up and shooting into the parked red vehicle, where Toufik and Salim were sitting.
The man returns to the SUV as the driver begins to drive off, before coming to a stop and firing more shots from their vehicle into the ute.
Detectives attached to State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad established Strike Force Ormerod to investigate the murders.
Four men – aged 20, 25, 18 and 23 – have previously been charged over their alleged roles in the incident and remain before the courts.
Commander of State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad Danny Doherty said the killer had “zero regard for human life”, as police made a public appeal for more information.
“While we’ve made a number of significant arrests in this matter, detectives are still looking for the men who pulled the trigger,” Detective Superintendent Doherty said on Friday.
“The men who evidently have zero regard for human life; carrying out such a brazen attack in broad daylight, just meters away from a mother and child.
“We are releasing this vision today to make sure those men know they can no longer run away or hide from their actions and the law.
“We are appealing today to anyone who may recognise these men and we’re also interested in talking to any witnesses whose memory may be jogged by this CCTV – particularly those seen driving past, who may not have been aware at the time what they were witnessing.”
