Two more men have been charged over the alleged murder of a high-ranking bikie as police release new CCTV as part of the ongoing investigation.
Jamie Goodworth, 32, was dumped outside Sydney’s Liverpool Hospital about 1am on February 24 last year with two gunshot wounds and died during emergency surgery.
The Finks bikie gang sergeant-at-arms had been part of a group who tried to break into the residence of a man with suspected links to the Assyrian Kings gang – also known as Dlasthr – to steal up to $250,000.
Goodworth had tried to break down the door of the Edensor Park home in western Sydney but a man inside opened fire, hitting him twice through the door.
Strike Force Heye was set up to investigate the shooting and a man was charged in October last year, but NSW Police said another two men were charged on Tuesday.
About 6.35am officers conducted a raid in Hinchinbrook, in Sydney’s southwest, which led to the arrest of a 24-year-old man the seizure of a mobile phone and Hyundai iLoad.
Another raid carried out at 6.40am in the adjacent suburb of Middleton Grange resulted in the arrest of a second 24-year-old man.
During that search, police seized mobile phones, a Toyota Hilux, and a small amount of cannabis.
Both men were taken to Cabramatta Police Station, where they were each charged with accessory after the fact to murder.
CCTV images of a silver Toyota Camry and a Toyota HiAce that were spotted in the area on the night Goodworth was shot have also been released by police.
Detectives are asking anyone who might have information on the vehicles to contact them.
Following Goodworth’s death, his sister posted a tribute on Facebook.
‘You were my absolute favourite family member I had left and I’m shattered you’ve been taken from me and your family,’ she said.
‘My big brother and protector. I’m just crushed.’
His partner Amanda also shared a tribute.
‘We all love you forever baby 0 to 100,’ she wrote.
Goodworth’s mother said: ‘It is with a broken heart my beautiful boy was taken from us last night, as a family we are devastated and in disbelief.’
Goodworth was also a member of the Budgewoi Bulldogs rugby league club on the NSW Central Coast.
The team said in a tribute he was the ‘friendliest OG Bulldog’.
The two arrested men are set to appear in Fairfield Local Court on Wednesday.
