Police have charged a third man over a brazen daylight shooting where masked gunmen allegedly fired twelve bullets at another man outside a popular gym.

A third man has been charged by police following an alleged shooting outside a popular gym in Sydney’s southwest, where multiple bullets were allegedly fired at another man.

Police swarmed the Steer Rd business at 8:30am on December 5, 2025 after reports of a public shooting.

It is alleged two men donning balaclavas and armed with pistols fired twelve shots at a 48-year old man outside the gym.

As the man ran for safety, the two alleged shooters escaped the scene in a red Range Rover SUV with cloned number plates.

The man escaped any harm.

The getaway car was found by police shortly after in nearby bushland to Macquarie Grove Rd, in the southwest Sydney suburb of Cobbitty.

Close to the ditched car, the alleged gunmen also discarded their clothing, masks, cloned number plates and their weapons in the bush.

Strike Force Foss was launched to investigate the shooting with detectives and officers from NSW’s Raptor Squad searching a Parramatta home in the early hours of Monday morning.

A 40-year-old man was charged with shooting with the intent to murder and knowingly directing the activities of a criminal group.
