A burnt out SUV has been found suburbs away from where a 22-year-old man was gunned down in Sydney, in what was the city's second fatal shooting in as many days.
Detectives investigating the 'targeted' Winston Hills attack were told the victim stumbled down Regiment Grove attempting to seek help from nearby homes before he collapsed.
Photos from the scene show blood smeared on the front door of a house on the secluded street near where the man was found in the city's west.
The man had been sitting in a car when he was shot in the chest about 7pm on Tuesday night before being rushed to Westmead Hospital, but he could not be saved.
'Police have been told after the man was shot, he attempted to seek aid from nearby homes; however, became unresponsive before emergency services arrived,' NSW Police said.
Emergency services were later called to a car fire on Bounty Place, Old Toongabbie about 11.15pm.
Police said on Wednesday morning the two crime scenes – located about 5km apart – were believed to be linked.
Investigations under Strike Force Karlgain were ongoing and further details were expected on Wednesday.
It follows the deadly shooting of 39-year-old father Gilbert Shino outside a pub in Sydney's inner west on Sunday night.
Mr Shino had been with friends at The Harold Hotel in Forest Lodge watching a UFC event before the attack unfolded when they left about 6.40pm.
Maradona Yalda, 31, was also shot multiple times but survived the attack.
It has been revealed Mr Yalda – who has links to Assyrian street gang DLASTHR – had arrived in Australia only days earlier and was warned he could be in danger.
Mr Shino has been remembered online as the 'life of the party' who was 'always smiling' and 'touched every person who had the blessing of knowing him'.
'He was a devoted husband and a loving father to two beautiful girls who adored him more than anything in this world,' a friend wrote in an online fundraiser.
'His family was his everything, and he would have moved mountains to make sure they were cared for and loved.'
His wife Natasha wrote on Instagram 'why did you have to leave us Gib?'
'We are going to be so lost without you. I can't live without you,' she wrote.
'You are my heart and my light.'
