Police have released vision amid an investigation into a targeted shooting in Melbourne last year.
Emergency services were called to Denys Street in Fakwner after a man was shot just after 9.30am on Wednesday, October 3, 2024.
Investigators believe a 49-year-old Lalor man had been lured to the address under the pretence of providing a quote for a trade job.
A white Mercedes Benz is captured on CCTV travelling on Denys Street at about 9.05am that morning. It goes all the way around the roundabout before parking on the street.
The victim arrives just after 9.30am and can be seen walking along the street.
A man gets out of the Mercedes and runs towards him, shooting him in the left ankle.
The bullet travelled straight through his ankle before exiting and hitting his right foot.
He was taken to hospital with serious injuries which he still requires ongoing treatment for.
The gunman then runs back to the waiting white vehicle, believed to be a 2018 Mercedes Benz GLC43, and flees the scene.
The vehicle was bearing cloned plates 1NB7FC and remains outstanding.
Investigators believe the address the victim was provided and asked to attend was chosen randomly and the incident is not connected to anyone living on that street.
A witness said the shooter was of African appearance, about 182cm tall, with a slim build, dark hair and brown eyes.
Police have today released a digital composite image of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
At the time, he was wearing a dark hooded jumper with the hood pulled up, black track pants and black and white sneakers.
Investigators are also releasing CCTV of the incident in the hope someone may recognise the man involved.
Police believe the incident was targeted.
Anybody with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.
