A man has been charged for his alleged role in the fatal shooting of an underworld figure in Sydney‘s west earlier this year.

Dawood Zakaria, 32, and solicitor Sylvan Singh, 25, were in a Toyota Hilux in Granville when they were shot from a nearby Mercedes on May 25.

Zakaria, an alleged Alameddine crime associate, was rushed to hospital with critical head injuries but later died, while Singh survived with multiple bullet wounds.
