Breaking: A notorious underworld figure was shot dead in South Yarra overnight, and police fear an escalation of violence between Melbourne's rival gangs.
Keshtiar’s murder would result in a ramping up of violence between warring gangs.Keshtiar survived a botched assassination attempt several years ago, which resulted in the death of a child, in what turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The child died after being shot when a gunman knocked on the door of a house they mistakenly thought contained Keshtiar.
The shooting happened metres from Chapel Street, in the heart of the shopping district. Almeida Crescent is across the road from the centre where Channel Ten filmand runs alongside the $500 million Capital Grand complex, home to multimillion-dollar apartments. It is around the corner from restaurant of the moment, Beverley.
Homicide squad detectives are working to determine the exact circumstances of the shooting and have requested anyone who witnessed anything or may have CCTV or dash-cam footage to come forward. Billy Algar, who lives in an apartment above the street, said she heard about 10 shots fired from where she was sitting in their living room.“We just wouldn’t believe that someone would get shot in the city of Melbourne,” she said.or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
