Fatal Sydney shooting death of Osama Momani

Emergency responders arrived at Regiment Grove in Winston Hills around 7 p.m. Tuesday following reports of a sudden shooting incident. Inside the vehicle, 22-year-old Osama Momani was struck in the chest by gunfire, according to authorities.

Initial dispatches confirmed that Momani was one of two individuals occupying the car when the attack transpired. Police personnel are analyzing evidence under the assumption that this was a deliberate act. Further investigation is necessary to determine the shooter’s identity, as a manhunt is currently underway.

A senior investigator from the Parramatta Police Area Command informed the media that the preliminary assessment indicates a single shot was fired. However, the official findings are pending additional forensic analysis. At this point, the incident is being treated as a targeted operation.

Despite sustaining injuries, Momani made efforts to seek immediate assistance from nearby residences before losing consciousness. Medical teams provided emergency care and transported him to a hospital, but his condition deteriorated, resulting in his death.

The other occupant of the vehicle was unharmed and is currently being questioned by law enforcement officials to gather more information about the event.

It has been reported that the victim had prior legal involvement with authorities. Osama Momani was on bail due to an alleged residential intrusion case in Chester Hill from the previous year.

Ongoing inquiries have expanded to two separate locations following the discovery of another vehicle involved in the incident. Emergency crews were alerted late Tuesday evening after being informed about a fire at Bounty Place in Old Toongabbie.

Upon arrival, police observed a Toyota SUV engulfed in flames. Firefighters extinguished the blaze without any reported injuries at the scene. Authorities are examining whether this location is connected to the initial shooting and if the burned automobile was taken without authorization.

Superintendant Barry Vincent emphasized that there is no clear indication this was a stolen vehicle and that the two crime scenes may be linked. Nonetheless, he stated that there is no evidence suggesting this incident is associated with a recent public shooting in a nearby area, dismissing any potential connections as premature speculation at this stage.
