Man shot and killed in Sydney home invasion was ‘targeted attack’, police believe

A man in his early 20s was fatally shot during a home invasion in Sydney's southwest, according to police, who believe it was a 'targeted attack'. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning at the victim's home in Glen Alpine, where multiple individuals allegedly broke in. Emergency services responded around 3:40 AM and found the man with a gunshot wound, though he had already died at the scene. Police confirmed there were 'multiple' suspects involved but noted significant gaps in their understanding of the event. The victim, known only through a traffic offense, had no prior criminal record, and his family is assisting with the investigation. Authorities are aware of a social media post by a suspected gangland figure suggesting the shooting might have been a case of mistaken identity. This incident follows similar fatal home invasions in recent weeks, though no direct link between them has been established.
