Port Kennedy shooting: Gang crime squad police search for car seen near where 37-year-old man was shot

Gang crime detectives are on the hunt for a silver or grey Holden Commodore which they believe was in the area where a man was shot twice in Port Kennedy on Monday. The 37-year-old victim suffered gunshot wounds to his leg and his abdomen, and is in a critical but stable condition at Royal Perth Hospital. He was rushed there for emergency surgery shortly after 1pm, when police were called to the Lark Hill area over reports of a man with bullet wounds. Police from Rockingham and the regional operations group were the first to arrive at the property on Stakehill Road. A statement released on Tuesday also said that while he was rushed to hospital on priority conditions, he’d suffered “non-life-threatening injuries”. Officers are now looking for the silver or grey Holden Commodore, which they understand was in the area at the time of the incident. Police also believe both the victim and the shooter are known to one another. Officers blocked off both ends of Stakehill Road until late on Monday night as forensic officers and Rockingham Detectives combed the rural property and surrounding area — including the roadway directly in front of the structure. Rubber debris — the remnants of a blown tyre — littered that section of road, with skid marks zigzagging across the asphalt. Anyone with any information or dashcam footage relating to the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online.
