CCTV Footage Released
CCTV Footage Released

WATCH: Homicide detectives have released CCTV as an investigation continues into the fatal shooting of Ghassan Amoun in South Wentworthville last year. The CCTV shows a grey 2017 Mini Cooper being parked on Una Street in Wentworthville, nearby a silver 2007 Toyota Aurion, on the morning of the shooting. A man is then seen walking nearby a short time later – described as being of solid build, wearing black tracksuit pants, with a black and white hooded jumper and a black face mask. After the alleged shooting, CCTV shows two unknown men driving the Mini Cooper back to Una Street, before setting it alight and fleeing the scene in the Toyota Aurion, bearing number plates ‘DB90FA’. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of vehicles, the identity of the hooded man, or the vehicle’s occupants, are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
