SocietyAlleged drone operator charged with murder after mistaken-identity shooting in Sydney

NSW police have charged an 18-year-old with murder over the suspected botched gang hit that killed Joshua Macdonald, 40, at his Merrylands West home on 2 September. Police say a seized drone may indicate surveillance, while a 19-year-old arrested alongside him faces separate criminal-group charges. Macdonald was not known to police and had no organised-crime links.
