Weeks before he was shot to death in front of his wife, a slain bikie had a heated argument with the mother of a Comanchero’s boss.
With roughly ten bullet wounds, Yusuf Nazlioglu was taken to Sydney’s Westmead Hospital at around 6.30 p.m. on Monday after the assailant opened fire in the parking garage under his Rhodes, in the city’s west, flat.
The 40-year-death old’s in the hospital about 7.15 am on Tuesday was later verified by police.
According to current information from underworld sources, Nazlioglu had an altercation at a cemetery with the mother of Mick Hawi, who was fatally murdered in front of Fitness First Gym at Rockdale in February 2018.
An NSW Supreme Court jury acquitted Nazlioglu of the murder of Hawi, the former leader of the Comancheros bikie group, two years ago.
One underworld source allegedly said, “Juries get it wrong, he pulled the trigger (to kill Hawi), we all know it.”
Especially after the way he gave himself up for the airport brawl, Hawi was an extremely well-liked character among the Comos (Comanchero OMCG).
There are many men who would still support him, says the speaker.
According to other accounts, Nazlioglu recently caused a tiff with a member of a notorious Sydney crime family after stealing his Bentley.
They claimed that the car was one of several high-end vehicles that the former Lone Wolf bikie had taken before demanding ransom.
According to one insider, Nazlioglu’s murder is “just a matter of time” as Sydney is currently a deadly area.
After waiting in a silver hatchback for Nazlioglu to exit the vehicle, the shooter opened fire on the masked assassin.
He had just been married for four months when his wife Jade hastily dialed the police.
The hatchback was later discovered burned out in the neighborhood of Leeds St. after the shooter fled the area.
Martin Hayston, the detective superintendent, stated that investigators think the attack was “targeted.”
A number of lines of inquiry are being conducted into the purpose of the person who approached the 40-year-old man and shot him, the man added.
With at least 14 men shot dead over the past two years, Sydney had gone six weeks without a deadly shooting. The city is currently dealing with a bloody underworld battle.
According to detectives, at this point in the inquiry, it does not appear that the murder was connected to the conflict between the Alameddine and Hamzy networks.
As part of the ongoing investigation into the needless killing, plainclothes cops continued to show up at the scene throughout Tuesday morning.
Locals claimed they saw Mrs. Nazlioglu sobbing in the lobby and asking, “Why did they have to kill him?” while paramedics worked to save her husband.
One neighbor who lives across the street from the parking lot where the underworld figure was shot dead told Daily Mail Australia he was on his balcony with the door open and didn’t hear a thing.
I frequently hear a loud motorbike in the parking lot, but last night I didn’t hear any gunshots or other loud noises.
It had to have been pretty covert.
“When the riot squad showed up with five or six police cars, I knew something had happened.”
The young man responded, “I don’t really care,” when asked how he felt about a shooting taking place so close to his house.
He claimed that “They’re all gangs” and that “obviously they’re being targeted for a reason,” but he remained anonymous out of concern for the consequences.
