Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Macdonald died at the scene. Police believe he was mistakenly killed in a botched gangland hit.

CCTV footage from nearby shows a car driving up to and stopping in front of the home before a gunman fired several shots through the rear window.

Two men, aged 18 and 19, were arrested about 30km south-west from where Macdonald was killed in West Hoxton on September 11.

Police allege a drone uncovered during investigations implicated the 18-year-old as the alleged shooter.

He was charged with murder and participating in a criminal group and remains in custody awaiting further court proceedings.

The 19-year-old was also charged with participating in a criminal group and driving while his licence was suspended.

He was granted bail and is expected to appear before Liverpool Local Court on September 24.

A week after the teenagers were arrested, police executed a search warrant at a unit in Wollongong on Friday and arrested a 28-year-old woman.

She was charged with allegedly being an accessory after the fact to murder, participating in a criminal group and failing to comply with a digital evidence access order.

She is expected to appear before Bail Division Local Court on Saturday, when police will allege she provided surveillance for the gunman to assist with their escape from the scene.

Investigations under Strike Force Haleno remain ongoing, and anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers .
