Mr Teriaki had returned home in Coronet Ave on Wednesday, August 9, at about 12.35am.

A silver sedan turned up and he was confronted by a number of people carrying weapons before he fled.

Two men gave chase and the car followed east along Coronet Ave, then south before Mr Teriaki faced the pair at the Hayfield Rd intersection.

During a confrontation he was shot and killed.
