Abdurhman Jemal, 33, was shot dead outside a Glenroy shopping strip in Melbourne’s north about 4.30am on March 29, 2024.<\/p>\n
Luke James Picking, 42, is accused of firing the fatal shot from the driver’s seat of a Volkswagen Golf, while his son Brodi, 19, was allegedly in the passenger seat.<\/p>\n

The two men have both been charged with Jemal’s murder and are on trial in the Victorian Supreme Court after pleading not guilty.<\/p>\n
A third man, 49-year-old Ian Harris, is also accused of helping Luke Picking dispose of the firearm.<\/p>\n
Brodi Picking and Jemal were associates but they had a falling out when Brodi accused Jemal of stealing his wallet, Crown prosecutor Patrick Bourke KC told the jury.<\/p>\n
The two men had an argument in a Bunnings car park the day before the alleged murder, with Brodi allegedly telling a friend he was “going to f—ing kill the c—“, Bourke said.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors allege in the hour before the shooting, Brodi and Luke Picking were seen driving past locations connected to Jemal, including his mother’s home.<\/p>\n
It’s alleged they located Jemal driving a red Hyundai in Glenroy and followed the 33-year-old until he pulled over and confronted them.<\/p>\n
CCTV footage played to the jury showed yelling between the two groups before Jemal was shot in the face.<\/p>\n
Bourke alleged Luke Picking said “you want a f—ing air raid” to Jemal before firing the bullet and speeding off.<\/p>\n
Jemal stumbled back to his car and managed to press down on the horn before he collapsed.<\/p>\n
He died after suffering multiple shotgun pellets to the face and neck.<\/p>\n
After the shooting, Brodi Picking allegedly told his aunt his dad was the one who killed Jemal but he wasn’t involved.<\/p>\n
He also told associates he was in Heidelberg being “jumped” by a man called Aboriginal Jason at the time of the incident, Bourke told the jury.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors allege Luke Picking called Ian Harris immediately after the shooting and later met up with him.<\/p>\n
A series of messages were also read to the jury where Harris allegedly told Luke “I got rid of them when you told me to”. <\/p>\n
Bourke will finish his opening address to the jury on Wednesday morning, before lawyers for the three accused put forward their case.<\/p>\n
The jury will then be taken to the location of the alleged murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A father and son allegedly gunned down another man in a suburban street after claiming he stole one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-163209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
