Man shot dead not intended target: police

A man who was shot dead at a house in Sydney’s west earlier this year has been identified as a Chinese national who police believe was innocently caught in the crossfire between two groups of men.

Qin Wu, 37, died on February 1 at the single-storey Guildford house on Kennedy Street.

The house, which is covered in colourful graffiti, was also being used as a temple and reportedly a meeting place for drug dealers.

Wu was not the intended target, Detective Sergeant Justin Moynihan said in a statement on Thursday.

“It is possible Qin may have been shot when he intervened in an argument between his friend and a group of men who arrived during their visit at the house,” he said.

“At the time of the incident, the house was also being used as a temple, so there were numerous visitors every day and we would like to speak to anyone who visited in the days leading up to his death.”
