Frightening security footage has emerged, capturing the moment shots were fired into a car that had a four-month-old baby inside during a suspected criminal deal.
The incident, which took place in Greenacre, south-west Sydney, was caught on CCTV on December 28.
In the video, a person dressed in black approaches a Mazda 3 and fires shots in broad daylight.
Several calls were made to the police reporting gunshots on Welch Avenue at around 3pm.
The released CCTV footage shows two individuals stepping out of a black Toyota Camry and a black Mazda 3, respectively.
They shake hands before opening the boot of the Mazda, at which point a gunman approaches them, checks his weapon, and swiftly moves towards their location.
A passenger from the car jumps out, and the driver accelerates towards the hooded gunman, who retaliates by shooting in the direction of the vehicle.
The armed man then returns to the Camry, while another person in a purple singlet is seen gesturing nearby.
After the incident, a woman wearing a black singlet and black pants is seen walking down the road.
Police discovered evidence of bullet damage to the vehicle, as well as empty bullet casings and fence damage.
It is believed that three shots were fired at the Mazda 3 while the baby was inside, during an allegedly illegal transaction.
Investigators suspect that the transaction was taking place between two males in the cul-de-sac and was ambushed by the gunman.
Authorities have declared the area a crime scene, and the State Crime Command’s Criminal Groups Squad is conducting an investigation under Strike Force Terrol.
The NSW Police stated that they believe there were two females and four males involved in the transaction, potentially having connections to Organised Criminal Networks (OCN).
The shooter reportedly fled the scene in a black Toyota Camry before entering a grey Hyundai Veloster near Bankstown.
Dashcam footage of the incident has been requested from the public to aid in the investigation.
