Overview

  • The 33-year-old, named in reports as former UFC fighter Suman Mokhtarian, was found with gunshot wounds on Annaluke Street about 6pm and died at the scene, with formal identification pending.
  • A vehicle was discovered ablaze on Riverstone Road roughly 15 minutes later and was destroyed before firefighters extinguished the flames.
  • NSW Police established two crime scenes and are investigating whether the shooting and the car fire are linked.
  • Officers say the gunman remains at large and have appealed for CCTV, dashcam footage and public information via Crime Stoppers.
