A notorious bikie recently pictured partying with several high-profile Comancheros has been rushed to hospital after he was shot in the face south of Brisbane.

Kyle Leofa, 25, is recovering in Mater Hospital following a shooting in a car park in the Logan suburb of Underwood on Monday night.

Police were only made aware of the incident hours later when Mr Leofa showed up in hospital on Tuesday afternoon, suffering from a suspected gunshot wound.

He showed up in the hospital hours after another man linked to the Comancheros was stabbed to death in a Brisbane street.

Daily Mail Australia makes no suggestion the shooting of Mr Leofa is linked in any way to the alleged stabbing murder.

Police launched a public appeal for information on Thursday, with Mr Leofa reportedly not cooperating with investigators.

The shooting comes weeks after Mr Leofa was spotted mingling with the national president of the ­Comancheros, Allan Meehan, and club sergeant-at-arms Tarek Zahed in Melbourne last month.

Photos posted by Meehan on social media show the trio hamming it up for the camera with long-time Comancheros associate and convicted drug importer George Lergou.

Meehan captioned one photo ‘welcome back Tarek ‘hard2kill’ Zahed’. 

It was the first time Zahed was spotted in public for the first time after he miraculously survived being gunned down outside a western Sydney gym in May, an attack that claimed the life of his brother.

Zahed spent weeks in hospital recovering from his serious injuries and was left blind in one eye.

The photos emerged on social media a week before Zahed was dramatically arrested in Sydney’s east on August 28. 

Meanwhile, police investigation into the Underwood shooting, which occurred in a Logan Road carpark around 7pm on Monday night, continues.

‘Initial investigations have identified a group of unknown males at the carpark of a business, filming a video, when two vehicles, one containing the victim, approached them and an alleged incident has occurred,’ a Queensland police statement read.

Investigators appealed for anyone who may have seen the incident or who has dash cam or CCTV, particularly in the Underwood area of Logan Road and Kingston Road to contact police.

Zahed is currently behind bars after he was arrested in a dramatic confrontation with police after returning to Sydney from Melbourne.

He was charged with the murder of 29-year-old Youssef Assoum, who was stabbed and shot at Bankstown in December 2014.

He remains behind bars after his bid for bail to undergo a “multifaceted treatment program’ as he recovers from injuries suffered in May was rejected bya magistrate in a Sydney court this week. 

Zahed in May miraculously survived an assassination attempt at Bodyfit Gym in Sydney’s Auburn when more than 20 bullets were fired inside the health club.

The ‘Balenciaga Bikie’ was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and was taken into surgery with bullet wounds to his head and body, including one that pierced straight through his eyeball. His brother Omar, 39, was killed during the shooting.

Kyle Leofa was shot juts six hours after Comancheros associate Levi Johnson, 23, (pictured with his sister) was allegedly stabbed in death in Brisbane. Daily Mail Australia makes no suggestion the shooting is linked in any way to Mr Johnson's death
