Police have released CCTV footage of a vehicle as part of their investigation into a fatal shooting in Burnside Heights last year.
The footage of a dark grey Ford Ranger was released in hope that someone may have seen the car or have knowledge of its occupants at the time of the shooting.
A 34-year-old Wallan man identified as Jason Filippi was found dead in a white Suzuki Swift in August 2024.
It’s believed the Suzuki Swift, in which Mr Filippi was a passenger, converged with a dark grey Ford Ranger in the area of Connor Drive and Remington Street in Burnside Heights shortly before the shooting.
Police said the occupants of the Suzuki Swift attempted to drive away, however they were pursued by those inside the Ford Ranger.
A firearm was subsequently used and possibly fired from the Ford into the Suzuki.
The Ford Ranger was then driven from the area and is believed to have headed along Taylors Road towards the Kings Park area.
The Suzuki Swift then drove to Tenterfield Drive, where the driver flagged down the member of the public.
Police confirmed the Ford Ranger was stolen in Deer Park a couple of weeks before the shooting.
At least two people were believed to be in the Ford Ranger.
Homicide squad inspector Dean Thomas said it is believed Mr Filippi has travelled to Burnside Heights to meet with associates.
“We believe that the associates were in that vehicle (Ford Ranger),” he said.
