Officers from the Cumberland Police Area Command along with the assistance of State Crime Command and Homicide Squad attended and established a crime scene which is set to be examined by specialised forensic officers.
The same street has been the scene of multiple other shootings in the past.
In 2011 an innocent family narrowly avoided being sprayed with bullets after gunmen shot at a home that Mouhamed and Sleiman Tajjour, cousins of Kings Cross nightclub identity John Ibrahim, previously lived in.
A report will be prepared for the Coroner.
