An alleged gunman has been charged after a brazen daylight shooting in a kebab shop in Sydney\u2019s west.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old was nabbed at Narwee on Friday, more than a year after three people were shot in wild scenes at the Auburn kebab shop.<\/p>\n

Two masked men entered the eatery on South Parade at about 1.10pm on June 16, 2025.<\/p>\n

Police allege the men fired several shots before fleeing the scene in a dark blue Audi Q7 with cloned number plates.<\/p>\n

Three people were treated for gunshot wounds. <\/p>\n

A 26-year-old man suffered wounds to his shoulder and arm, a 47-year-old woman was shot four times in the torso, and a 25-year-old man was shot in the face.<\/p>\n

The woman and the 25-year-old man are expected to face long-term complications as a result of their injuries, police say.<\/p>\n

Three cars were later found burnt out on Wigram St in Harris Park, Hilltop Road in Merrylands and Gerald St in Greystanes.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, NSW Police charged the 31-year-old man with a string of offences including three counts of shoot at with intent to murder, acquiring a pistol and ammunition subject to firearms prohibition order, using and possessing an unauthorised pistol. <\/p>\n

He was also charged with wearing a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, participate in a criminal group contribute to criminal activity and driving recklessly. <\/p>\n

He was refused bail to appear before a NSW bail court on Saturday. <\/p>\n

In an update on Friday afternoon, Detective Superintendent Jason Box told reporters it\u2019s believed the 31-year-old man they arrested was one of the two gunmen. <\/p>\n

Police have also identified the second alleged shooter, however, he had fled the country to Thailand where he passed away in a motor vehicle accident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a protracted and complex investigation. Investigators toiled away for 14 months to charge the man and obtain sufficient evidence for these serious offences. <\/p>\n

Back in March, nearly nine months after the shooting, police released CCTV footage from inside the kebab shop in the hope of appealing to the public for information.<\/p>\n

The CCTV shows a dark blue Audi Q7 arriving at Main Lane in Merrylands about noon on the day of the shooting. It is believed the Audi travelled from the Guildford area.<\/p>\n

The Audi is then captured again in Auburn before parking on Auburn Rd at about 1.10pm.<\/p>\n

Two men leave the vehicle before storming the kebab shop and fleeing the scene minutes later.<\/p>\n

The Audi was found alight in Harris Park later that day.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
