Homicide Squad detectives are appealing for public assistance as investigations continue into a fatal shooting in Sydney’s south west.
About 5.45pm on Wednesday 9 September 2026, emergency services were called to reports of a man being shot in the carpark of a community centre on Rossmore Avenue, Punchbowl.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the man at the scene; however, he died a short time later.
The victim was later identified as 32-year-old Louis Meehan.
Officers attached to Campsie Police Area Command established a crime scene before detectives from State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad commenced an investigation under Strike Force Bevani.
Following extensive inquiries, just after 6am today (Tuesday 10 November 2026) strike force detectives – with assistance from Southwest Metropolitan Operations Support Group – executed search warrants at properties in Campsie, Cartwright and Peakhurst.
During the search, police seized a number of items relevant to their investigation.
As inquires continue, detectives have released CCTV of two vehicles and a man who may be able to assist investigators with their inquiries.
The footage depicts a silver Lexus SUV travelling along Carrisbrook Avenue, Punchbowl, and a white truck carrying two large silver toolboxes travelling on Jacqueline Crescent, Greenacre, about an hour before the shooting.
Detectives have also released vision of a man seen walking along Noble Avenue, Greenacre around the same time. He is described as wearing an orange hi-visibility jacket, black hood, black trousers and black shoes, and carrying a shopping bag while wearing a red cap.
Investigators are urging anyone who recognises the vehicles or the man, or who has information about the incident, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
