Overview

• The 33-year-old was found with gunshot wounds near Annaluke Street and Riverbrae Avenue around 6 p.m. and died at the scene despite efforts by paramedics.
• Witnesses reported a red Audi speeding away, and detectives are assessing whether vehicles later found burned nearby are connected.
• NSW Police established multiple crime scenes, appealed for dashcam and CCTV footage, and have not announced any suspects or arrests.
• The shooting follows a February 2024 attempt on Mokhtarian’s life outside his Wentworthville gym, after which a suspect was charged and later released on bail.
• Authorities had previously warned of credible gang-related threats, leading to the cancellation of an April MMA event where Mokhtarian was slated to coach.
