Khaled Kahwaji, 30, was shot dead on Wilbur Street, Greenacre on Friday evening. Kahwaji was once charged with shooting Saba Kairouz, 26, while he played touch football at Roberts Park, Greenacre. He was in prison for 10 months but was never convicted.
“It was just after six (on Friday night) and I just heard maybe about four to five loud sounds and I didn’t realize it was gunshots,” said Jenny, a neighbor. “I came outside and you could just see the body on the ground.”
According to Detective Inspector Russell Oxford, police is trying to track Kahwaji’s final movements and find out what brought him from his home in Rhodes, in the northwest, to Greenacre. Residents told the police that they heard a car playing loud music on Friday before four or five gunshots were fired.
“The real mystery for us is what caused this man to arrive at Wilbur Street – he’s arrived in Wilbur Street and he lives in Rhodes,” D/Insp Oxford said. “We need to determine why he was there.”
Multiple cases of gun crimes have been reported in the west and south-west Sydney during the last three months. A week ago an aunt of convicted murderer and Brothers For Life gang founder Bassam Hamzy was shot in the legs outside her Auburn housing commission apartment.
“We need more police resources thrown at the problem and we need cash rewards for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of these criminals and thugs. What we’re seeing grow now in Sydney is a culture where young men think it’s OK to take matters into their own hands, get a gun and resolve their differences down the barrel of a gun,” said NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson.
