Overview

• NSW Homicide Squad obtained the arrest warrant for Harley Johan, who performs as YC Ewzy, in September 2025 and is appealing for public assistance to find him.
• Police released new CCTV from the November 22, 2024 shooting that shows two masked gunmen chasing Niddal Acherkouk at a Cleveland Street service station, including one in a black poncho and another in a black tracksuit.
• Investigators say Acherkouk parked before dinner at a nearby Turkish restaurant and was ambushed on his return, suffering fatal gunshot wounds at the scene despite paramedic efforts.
• Detectives believe the offenders fled in a stolen Porsche later found burnt out on Kensington Road, then escaped in a stolen white Audi hatchback.
• Police say Acherkouk had links to organised crime, describe the attack as recklessly endangering the public, and note his death was counted as the 27th gangland murder in Sydney since 2020; authorities have not detailed Johan’s specific alleged role.
