A witness told police that a Ford Ranger utility was seen driving away from the area at the time.

Multiple neighbours reported waking to the sound of gunshots.

What is believed to be the same vehicle was found burnt out at Sweeney Reserve in Berwick about 9km from the scene of the shooting, about 2.30am yesterday.

Detectives are trying to determine why Toth, whose partner is pregnant, was outside the home and what sparked the attack.
