In June this year, Sydney rapper Ali Younes, aka Ay Huncho, told a Sydney court that he feared for his safety.

On bail for his alleged role in a kidnapping and a raft of serious driving offences, Younes implored the Supreme Court to change his bail conditions to allow him to report to police by phone and to make his movements less predictable for would-be assassins.

The rapper’s fears for his safety appear prescient; in the early hours of Sunday morning, his family home was peppered by over 20 bullets.

It is the second shooting in Merrylands in the past week; bullets were sprayed into a home on Wright Street in the early hours of last Tuesday. Police say that was a case of mistaken identity, but investigators are now looking at whether that shooting was also a targeted at Younes.
