Appealing for witness over shooting murder

TASKFORCE Erebus investigators have released CCTV footage as they continue to investigate the shooting death of Mahmoud Ahmad in Greenacre almost one year ago.

Ahmad, 39, was shot dead in a hail of bullets in Narelle Crescent on Wednesday, April 27, about 9.30pm and despite the efforts of police and paramedics, died at the scene
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad, established Strike Force Betta to investigate the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.
This investigation subsequently formed part of ongoing inquiries by Taskforce Erebus into several fatal shootings and criminal activities by organised crime networks across Sydney.
As investigations continue, strike force detectives have released CCTV footage of the moments leading up to and at the time of the shooting, hoping anyone who may have been in the area and is yet to speak to police, will come forward.
Homicide Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, said strike force investigators were still following lines of inquiry in relation to the commission of the offence.
“While we have canvassed the area and spoken to a number of neighbours, there are still people who are yet to come forward and assist us with our inquiries,” he said.
“Taskforce Erebus investigators are examining all elements of these murders – before, during and after the fact – and we are urging anyone who believes they have crucial information to speak to police,” he said.
