Victoria Police is seeking witnesses to the public shooting of a notorious underworld figure in front of two small children in Deer Park last month.
Douglas Mikhaeel, 27, was stopped in his car at boom gates on Mt Derrimut Road when several men ambushed the vehicle just after 9.10pm on Friday, January 20.
The victim then drove to Sunshine Hospital, about 10 minutes away, for treatment for his non-life threatening injuries, while the 26-year-old woman and two children in the car were not physically injured.It was the third time in 18 months that Mikhaeel had been targeted by unknown gunmen. He has been linked with feuds with a host of organised crimes players, including outlaw motorcycle clubs, Middle Eastern and southern European gangs and former associates.
The video shows a number of vehicles and pedestrians who were in the area at the time of the incident.Victoria Police said its investigators were particularly keen to talk to the occupants of a white car that police believe was the closet to the victim’s black Hilux at the time of the shooting.
