Australian police have announced a $250,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Anthony Pele, a 25-year-old fugitive they allege killed one person and injured two others in a mistaken identity shooting in southwest Sydney.

The shooting occurred at Greenacre on 23 July 2023. Ahmed Al Azzam, 25, was found seriously injured in his parked car and died in hospital three days later. A 22-year-old man and 19-year-old woman were wounded in a separate car parked about 50 metres away. Pele allegedly fled Australia by plane shortly after the attack in August 2023.

NSW Police said Pele faces four outstanding warrants relating to murder, shooting with intent to murder, conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to kidnap and supplying commercial quantities of drugs. NSW detectives are working alongside the Australian Federal Police and international police forces to track him down and extradite him to Australia. Investigators believe Pele is currently residing overseas, though his exact whereabouts remain unknown.
