 BY IAN CROUCH

A third man has been charged for his alleged role in the fatal shooting of a man at Bar Beach earlier this year.

It's alleged a group of people were fighting in the Bar Beach car park on the night of April 23 when a white SUV drove up before a gun was fired towards 18-year-old  Ekampreet Singh Sahni.

Police carried out a search of a home on Tirriki Street Charlestown on Wednedsay, allegedly finding $7,900 in cash, 28 grams of cocaine and an electronic device.

An 18-year-old man was arrested at the property.

He's been charged with two counts of possessing an unauthorised firearm, failing to disclose a driver's identity and possession of an illegal gun.

He's been refused bail to face court today (Thursday 21 August 2025).

Two other men remain before the courts.
