A new suspect has emerged in the grisly murder of an underworld kingpin who was gunned down at a crowded shopping mall.

Walid ‘Wally’ Ahmad, 41, was shot dead in a ‘well-planned ambush’ outside a cafe at Bankstown Central Shopping Centre in April 2016.

The contract killer originally accused of his murder – Hamad Assaad – was gunned down in a hail of bullets outside his home while taking his 12-year-old son to school.

Almost two years after the 29-year-old’s bloody death, police no longer suspect Assaad and are probing a new suspect, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

The new suspect is thought to be a small-time Comanchero bikie holed up in a luxury apartment in Sydney’s CBD.

It is though Assaad was gunned down in a mistaken revenge attack by those loyal to Ahmad. Police have confirmed Assaad was not at the scene of Ahmad’s murder.

Police believe Ahmad was killed in retaliation for the shooting of a member of a rival clan at his A Team Smash Repairs business three weeks before his death.

Ahmad’s execution saw the kingpin shot more than a dozen times and left his bodyguard and a 31-year-old woman reported to be his girlfriend with injuries. Pictured: Ahmad

‘We believe this murder was a contract killing and related to previous shootings that were part of an escalating dispute between two local crime groups,’ Homicide Squad Detective Superintendent Scott Cook said.

Ahmad’s public execution saw the kingpin shot more than a dozen times and left his bodyguard and a 31-year-old woman reported to be his girlfriend with injuries.

After the attack, shocking footage emerged of the moment paramedics tried to resuscitate Ahmad.

Distressing images show Ahmad, who went into cardiac arrest immediately after he was shot, lying on the ground covered in blood while a man performs CPR on his chest.

His family and friends could be heard in the footage screaming ‘Walid, Walid! Don’t die on me Walid!’
