Detectives from the Criminal Groups Squad have charged a man they allege was the principal organiser of the fatal shooting of Marvin Oraiha.
About 4pm on Monday 22 May 2023, emergency services were called to Hertfordshire Street in Elizabeth Hills, following reports of a shooting.
On arrival, officers attached to Liverpool City Police Area Command located a 24-year-old man suffering several gunshot wounds.
Despite the efforts of police and NSW Ambulance paramedics, the man died at the scene.
He has since been identified as Marvin Oraiha.
A short time later, emergency services were called to Cave Close in Green Valley and Lewis Street in Bonnyrigg Heights following reports of two car fires.
Crime scenes were subsequently established and forensically examined at all three locations.
Liverpool detectives, with assistance from the Homicide Squad, commenced inquiries before State Crime Command's Criminal Groups Squad took carriage of the investigation under Strike Force Hackenburg.
Ten people have previously been charged over their alleged involvement in the shooting and remain before the courts.
Following further extensive inquiries, about 9.15am today (Wednesday 1 October 2025), strike force detectives attended a correctional centre in Silverwater where they arrested a 29-year-old man.
He was charged with murder and knowingly direct activities of criminal group.
The man was refused bail to appear in Burwood Local Court today, where police will allege he was the principal organiser of Marvin Oraiha's murder – recruiting, coordinating, instructing, and paying the criminal enterprise that carried out the shooting on behalf of an Organised Criminal Network.
