Tyrone Slemnik, with partner Elizabeth Duguid and daughter Armani (aged 2yo in photo, now 3yo). Family of OMCG member killed in shooting appeal for public assistance. SCC Homicide Squad.Around 10pm on Monday 8 July 2013, police were called to the rear car-park of a residential unit block at Eastlakes. Police were told a group of men who were standing in the car-park were fired upon by the occupants of a vehicle, before the men in the car-park returned fire towards the car. One man, Tyrone Slemnik – a 42-year-old member of the Hells Angels – died at the scene. A 25-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg. Those in the car fled from the scene before police arrived. Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad formed Strike Force Shenton to investigate the shooting and have arrested and charged three men to date. However, officers are yet to charge anyone for Mr Slemnik’s death and are hoping members of the public can provide the necessary information to ensure the person or people responsible are caught.
