Two charged with murder after gangland-linked shooting

Officers arrested a 21-year-old man on Monday afternoon after a car crashed into a parked vehicle, NSW Police said. 

Police found a firearm in the car and later charged the man with murder and wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Detectives then raided a home on Spurway Street in Ermington, near Lidcombe, around 8pm and arrested a 22-year-old man.

He was also charged with murder.

Both men were refused bail and are expected to face Burwood Local Court on Tuesday. 

Police earlier said they believe the shooting was carried out by offenders with links to organised crime.

"This is a targeted attack. This is not a random attack," Superintendent Robert Toynton told reporters on Monday before the arrests.

He had described the gunmen as heavy-set and dressed in black clothes, and urged the public to come forward with any relevant information.
