A 65-year-old grandma named Kim Duncan got caught in a deadly drive by shooting an Embarvel Sydney on April 14, 2025. She had just moved from Tamworth for better medical care and family time, heading to her son Shane's house to reconnect after years apart. Shots rang out, hitting her in the leg, and she died right there. Police say she was innocent, wrong place at the wrong time, with three people now charged, and another guy the real target. This tragedy fits a scary pattern in Sydney suburbs, where gang violence is spilling over and hitting regular folks. Cobbs note the old underworld code, sparing women, kids, and families is broken. Recent cases include an 85-year-old grandpa tortured by mistaken North Ride, a 23-year-old plumber executed in Condale Park. A 21-year-old stabbed outside his Pemelwee home, and a 45-year-old woman killed in Bankstown over her husband's ties. Kim's daughters Cassandra and Renea are heartbroken, missing her joyful spirit, her love for dancing, singing, and the

Penruth Panthers. They've had new babies, birthdays, and graduations without her, and they'll grieve forever. They push for tougher penalties, saying if they'd known the risks, she'd never have gone. Former detective Duncan McNabb calls it utterly terrifying, with gangs boulder from the drug boom. They're recruiting younger kids online via encrypted apps in black market job boards, like airtasker for hits, paid in crypto, pulling in. Disenfranchised teens with quick cash. Families like the Duncan's are chasing justice in court, while police battle the surge, but the daughters stressed these killers had time to choose. Different paths. Kim's memory lives on through photos and stories, a reminder that innocent lives hang in the balance amid this suburban bloodshed. I'm Corey with the story. That's your Sydney News Today update.
