A man has been charged with murder after a shooting in Sydney’s Inner West earlier this week.
Emergency services were called to an apartment building on East Street, Five Dock at 3.45am on Tuesday after reports two men had been shot.
John Odisho, 24, was inside the apartment with a 24-year-old relative when two men ambushed the pair, shooting Mr Odisho in the head and his relative in the shoulder.
Mr Odisho was taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition but died shortly after arriving.
A short time later, a 28-year-old man understood to be involved in the shooting, presented at Auburn Hospital with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Detectives from the NSW State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad commenced an investigation into the shooting and laid charges against the 28-year-old Yagoona man earlier today.
He has been charged with murder, shoot at with intent to murder and aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence.
He appeared at Parramatta Local Court today and was refused bail.
Investigations are ongoing and detectives are still seeking out the second man allegedly involved in the shooting.
