Police Release CCTV of Targeted Shooting in Melbourne
Melbourne police are investigating a targeted shooting that occurred on October 3, 2024, in Fawkner, where a 49-year-old man was shot in the ankle. The victim was lured to a home under the pretense of providing a quote for a trades job, and CCTV footage shows the assailant exiting a white Mercedes-Benz, shooting the victim, and fleeing the scene. The bullet passed through the victim's ankle and struck his other foot, resulting in serious injuries that require ongoing treatment. Authorities emphasize that the address targeted was chosen randomly, and there is no connection to residents in the area. Witness descriptions indicate the shooter is of African appearance, around 182 cm tall, with a slim build and dark hair. Police have released a digital composite image of the suspect and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
