Homicide Squad detectives have released an image of a man and CCTV footage of a vehicle, as they continue to investigate the fatal shooting of a man in the state\u2019s Hunter region late last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 10.50pm on Tuesday 27 December 2022, emergency services responded to reports of a man being shot at a home on Traders Way, Heddon Greta, about 20km east of Cessnock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the man; however he died at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has since been identified as 25-year-old Zachery \u2018Zac\u2019 Davies-Scott, known to many in the area as \u2018Donnie\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local police from Hunter Valley Police District conducted initial investigations, before the matter was referred to the State Crime Command\u2019s Homicide Squad under Strike Force Roslyn.
Police have been told a number of people forced entry to the home before Mr Scott was shot. The group then left the scene in a white SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As investigations continue, strike force detectives have released CCTV footage of a white SUV seen driving erratically along Main Road, Heddon Greta, shortly after 10.50pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homicide Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, said police are examining Zac\u2019s associates and interactions in the days and weeks leading up to his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom our investigations, it appears he was better known as \u2018Donnie\u2019 to his friends and associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are treating this murder as a targeted attack, with detectives canvassing if Zac had any ongoing conflicts or issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe footage we have released shows a white SUV driving on Main Road in a very erratic manner immediately after the murder, overtaking a van on the inside shoulder of a single lane road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are in the Hunter again today to continue asking all of these questions, canvassing for more witnesses and CCTV, and continuing to piece together who Zac was and how he came to be a victim of an horrific crime,\u201d Det Supt Doherty said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
