Last year, a former bikie named Yusuf Nazlioglu was fatally shot in a car park in Rhodes, located in Sydney's inner west. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his head and torso and was rushed to Westmead Hospital from his apartment car park where he passed away soon after. The victim, aged 40, was a former member of the Lone Wolf bikie club who had been acquitted of the murder of Comanchero boss Mick Hawi in 2020.
In 2020 a jury found Nazlioglu not guilty of murdering Comanchero boss Mick Hawi, who was gunned down at Fitness First in Rockdale in 2018.
Nazlioglu was accused of being the balaclava-clad gunman, while Jamal Eljaidi was said to be his getaway driver but was also acquitted.
The Crown alleged Nazlioglu was motivated to kill Hawi after the former close friends fell out, with the
relationship souring during a fishing trip to the Central Coast in the summer of 2016. However jury found him not guilty.
Task Force Erebus, investigating a series of fatal shootings and criminal networks in Sydney, launched Strike Force Claypinch to look into the
incident. As part of their investigations, the New South Wales (NSW) Police executed a search warrant in south-west Sydney and arrested Mohammed Hosni
Khaled at a Blair Athol residence. He was charged with murder at Campbelltown
police station
Khaled used e-scooters to cover his tracks and acted alongside others to plan, coordinate and carry out the murder which involved burning out several stolen cars to cover their tracks, before fleeing on e-scooters.
Detective Superintendent Doherty further added that two additional warrants were executed in Mount Pritchard and Kemps Creek in the
morning, and two more warrants were being executed in Sydney's south-west that afternoon.
