Brother of airport murder victim believed shot in overnight incident

A man gunned down in front of his home in Sydney's southwest is believed to be the Hells Angels brother of a man bludgeoned to death at Sydney airport earlier this month.

Peter Zervas, 32, is believed to be the victim who was shot several times at about 11.30pm yesterday (1.30am today NZST) while getting out of his vehicle outside a unit block in Punchbowl Road, Lakemba.

Police have not released the identity of the victim, but several media sources have named him as Peter Zervas.

It appears he pulled up at the unit block in a car and was shot several times when he got out of the vehicle.

Another man was seen running from the unit block onto Punchbowl Road.

His brother Anthony Zervas, 29, was bludgeoned to death during a brawl in the domestic terminal at Sydney Airport on the afternoon of March 22.

He was killed during a fight between 15 members of the Hells Angels and the rival bikie gang the Comancheros.

Following the latest attack, Peter Zervas was rushed by ambulance to St George Hospital where he underwent surgery for his wounds.

Police say he remains in a serious but stable condition.

The man seen fleeing the scene is described as being around 173cm tall, of muscular build, with long dark collar length hair and wearing a dark long sleeved jacket and dark jeans.

A crime scene was established and investigators began searching the area for clues with the assistance of Polair, the dog squad and general duties officers.

Police are appealing for the driver of a white motor vehicle, who encountered the man who fled the scene, to come forward.

The driver had to sound his horn while avoiding the man running across Punchbowl Road shortly after the gunshots were heard.
