Emergency services attempted to revive Boursinos but he was pronounced dead at the location.

Police reported that the perpetrator fled the scene in a vehicle.

9News reports that Boursinos is suspected to have been involved in the murder of the underworld figure Sam “The Punisher” Abdulrahim in January.

“It appears very deliberate and targeted,” police said.
