Three people have been arrested and a potentially stolen white Porsche SUV has been seized as a part of an investigation into the brazen shooting of a man in his car in Sydney\u2019s northwest.<\/p>\n

Jack Cheung, 35, was shot dead at close range as he sat in the driver\u2019s seat of his Hyundai i30 in the driveway of his home on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Following extensive inquiries, strike force detectives arrested a 49-year-old woman and two men, aged 42 and 66, at a South Wentworthville home. <\/p>\n

While two of the individuals were released without charge, the 66-year-old man was charged with possessing a prohibited drug and a motor vehicle suspected to be stolen. <\/p>\n

He was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Friday.<\/p>\n

Footage of the murder was released online by the Sydney Crime Network social media page. <\/p>\n

The video shows Mr Cheung being shot at close range in his vehicle. <\/p>\n

A shadowy figure dressed in black is then seen casually walking from the North Rocks Rd, Carlingford property towards the usually busy road.<\/p>\n

Police and paramedics rushed to the scene, but Mr Cheung, whom friends have described as a car enthusiast, could not be revived.<\/p>\n

Acting Superintendent Michael Marinello on Wednesday said Mr Cheung was known to police, with detectives now investigating what may have led to the \u201cbrazen attack\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not believe it was a case of mistaken identity. We believe it was not a random attack,\u201d Superintendent Marinello said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe this was an isolated incident and can reassure the public there\u2019s no ongoing threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victim was known to the police but that is all I can say at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Thursday Mr Cheung was last month sentenced to a nine-month correctional release order after being found guilty of possessing an unauthorised firearm.<\/p>\n

Police sources told The Daily Telegraph that detectives were investigating whether Mr Cheung was targeted because of an associate\u2019s close ties to the Coconut Cartel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not something that we\u2019re discounting, but it\u2019s not something that we can confirm at this time,\u201d Superintendent Marinello said.<\/p>\n

7News reported a GPS tracker was allegedly fitted to Mr Cheung\u2019s car and CCTV footage showed his killer was driven to the house in an SUV and was only in the area for three minutes.<\/p>\n

It is understood Mr Cheung lived alone at the property while his mother was overseas, with others living in a granny flat on the property.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people who were home and they are assisting us with our inquiries,\u201d Superintendent Marinello said.<\/p>\n

He said police were investigating reports multiple shots had been heard in the area between 5am and 5.30am, almost two hours before Mr Cheung was found.<\/p>\n
