A man in his 20s was fatally shot during a home invasion in Glen Alpine, a suburb in Sydney's southwest, on Tuesday morning. Three masked intruders allegedly broke into the family home shortly before 4 a.m.
Three other family members – the victim's parents and sister – were present during the incident and were taken to Campbelltown Police Station for questioning.
Following the shooting, an Instagram account reportedly linked to the Coconut Cartel gang posted a message stating: "You popped the wrong person, got the wrong house." Police have not confirmed if the post is related to the killing but are reportedly aware of it and are examining it as part of their investigation.
The incident occurred on August 31, 2026. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
