A 19-year-old man has been charged with the murder of a 12-year-old boy who was fatally shot in the face inside an apartment in Norwest, Sydney, on September 21, 2026. The victim died three days later at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead after sustaining critical gunshot wounds to his face and neck. Police believe there were ten people in the apartment during the incident, including the boy's mother and several other individuals who fled afterward. The murder weapon was removed from the scene before emergency services arrived and remains missing. Isaac Bechara, who turned 19 shortly after the shooting, had initially been charged with concealing a serious indictable offense but now faces additional charges for the boy's death.
