Latest Sydney shooting death not linked to bikies

BN- Police say a man shot dead in Sydney's south-west overnight had been involved in a number of earlier shootings, although none linked to bikie gang violence. Detectives have established a crime scene near the intersection of Bell Street and Schofield Street at Riverwood after a man was gunned down just after midnight. Police say paramedics tried to revive him, but he died at the scene. A man was arrested a short time later and questioned by police. He was later released without charge. Police superintendent Steve Blackmore says the victim, aged in his 30s, is believed to have been killed because of a personal feud over a debt that was owed. Superintendent Blackmore says both men were known to police, and the victim had previously been involved in public shootings. The public has been urged to avoid the area while they investigate. The latest incident comes after a spate of shootings in Sydney over the past two weeks. The New South Wales Government has announced measures targeting outlaw motorcycle gangs, which they hope will reduce the recent spate of shootings.
