Shady Kanj was gunned down in Chester Hill, in Sydney’s west last August in what police believe is a “targeted attack”.
As part of ongoing investigations, Homicide Squad detectives conducted a secondary canvass of the area in Sydney’s west and unearthed the vision.
It shows a man and woman in a white Audi Q5 at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Lidcombe prior to the murder.
Police do not believe the man and woman were involved in Kanj’s murder but may have information that could assist with inquiries.
Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty urged the man and woman, or those with knowledge of their identities, to come forward.
“Detectives have released CCTV in the hope of identifying the occupants of a white Audi captured on the night of Shady’s murder, as we suspect they have information of value to our investigation,” he said.
“That vehicle is captured at the fast-food restaurant in Lidcombe before the shooting, then again on the corner of Mona Street and Clyde Street at South Granville later that night.
“Given the vehicle traveled in the vicinity of the murder around the time of the shooting, it is possible the occupants saw something suspicious that may further our inquiries.”
Doherty said police believe the individuals involved in the murder visited Miller Street before and after the shooting.
“As part of ongoing investigations, detectives returned to Miller Street at South Granville to conduct further canvasses of the area,” he said.
“It is believed that those involved in Shady’s murder visited Miller Street before and after the incident and may have even disposed of evidence in the vicinity.”
The release of the CCTV comes months after police seized a white Lexus hatchback, which was believed to be disguised and used in the murder.
It’s suspected the Lexus CT200H hatchback was “wrapped” in black nylon film to disguise its true colour.
The vehicle has since undergone extensive forensic examination.
