A teenage boy has become the latest person to be charged over his alleged role in the fatal shooting of an underworld figure in Sydney’s west earlier this year.

Dawood Zakaria, 32, and solicitor Sylvan Singh, 25, were in a Toyota Hilux in Granville when they were shot from a nearby Mercedes on May 25.

Zakaria, an alleged Alameddine crime associate, was rushed to hospital with critical head injuries but later died, while Singh survived with multiple bullet wounds.

Taskforce Falcon was set up days later to investigate the fatal shooting, the latest in a string of alleged underworld attacks.

Early yesterday, police charged a 15-year-old boy with driving a stolen vehicle and being part of a criminal group.

He is due to front a children’s court today, where it will be alleged he drove a getaway car in the shooting.

Three men have previously been charged over their involvement in the shooting and remain before the courts.

Anyone with information that may assist investigations into organised criminal activity should contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or make an online report.
