Plumber executed in 'brutal, targeted' suburban hit
Two people are on the run after the shooting in Condell Park, in Sydney's southwest, on Monday night, that left the 23-year-old man dead.
CCTV of the incident shows the victim returning home around 10.30pm and backing his car into the driveway, before another car pulls up and parks him in.
A man holding what is believed to be a Glock pistol exited the second vehicle from the rear driver's side door and fired up to 10 bullets at the man.
At least four hit the victim, NSW Police Superintendent Rodney Hart said.
"He slumped to the ground at the front of his home and the offender returned to the hatchback," he said.
"We believe this is ... extremely brutal and violent execution-style murder is a targeted attack."
About 20 minutes later, police found a car in nearby Fairfield East, believed to have been used in the shooting, having been set on fire.
A Glock pistol was found inside.
The victim and his family are not known to police and there are no known links to organised crime, Supt Hart said.
"We believe he is a plumber and possibly working in his father's business," he said.
"We need to look at who he is involved with, who he knows and what he did leading up to this brutal attack.
"This has all the hallmarks of a targeted, brutal hit, so that is what we are treating it as."
Police believe the victim lived at home with his parents, along with adult sisters.
Detectives are asking for anyone with information, including CCTV, to contact Crime Stoppers.

Armed thugs who shot, stabbed and assaulted a resident during a violent home invasion has been captured on camera. Resident Kemal Akbulut, 60, confronted multiple offenders who broke into his home on Trentham Dr in Gladstone Park about 1.25am on July 24. A group of four men armed with weapons, knives and guns assaulted and stabbed Mr Akbulut and threatened his cousin Birsel Akbulut, 57, with a gun. Shocking footage from the incident shows one of the thugs use a hammer to bash Mr Akbulut who can be heard screaming through the ordeal. One of the offenders points a gun at the victim and asks, 'Where's the money?' Mr Akbulut can be heard saying, 'I'll give you whatever you want.' Another man repeatedly stabs the victim while another offender points a gun at him and films it on his mobile phone. A police spokesman said the offenders allegedly fired a shot inside the home. 'The 60-year-old man sustained serious injuries consistent with a gun shot wound and was transported to hospital,' a police spokesman said. 'The woman was not physically injured.' The offenders fled in a white Haval SUV. 'They remain outstanding and the investigation remains ongoing,' a police spokesman said. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. The footage was uploaded to Outlaw Media, a gangland news outlet.
