Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare calls for clampdown on gang assets to stop Sydney's escalating gun crimes Police at the scene of a fatal shooting at Earlwood. ASSET stripping of outlaw bikie gangs will help combat Sydney's escalating violence, Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said following the murders of two men overnight. Mr Clare told an organised crime conference in Brisbane he was concerned about the spate of shootings in Sydney, and the risk it posed to innocent civilians. "I'm worried that a day will come when an innocent person is caught in the crossfire, where an innocent person is shot and not a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang," Mr Clare said.

Picture: Grainger John Source: DailyTelegraph A bikie affiliate who survived an attempt on his life just a fortnight ago was one of two men killed in two separate shootings in Sydney's south overnight. Bassil Hijazi survived a 16 July ambush that saw his car peppered with more than a dozen bullets on a quiet Bexley street, while 35-year-old Vasko Boskovsk was shot in Earlwood in an apparently unlinked crime. The Commander of the Homicide Squad said this morning police are doing everything they can to solve the spate of shootings gripping the city. "We're pouring everything we have into solving these crimes," Supt Mick Willing said."It was a violent night for Sydney, there's no doubt about that. The Earlwood shooting victim named as Vasko Boskovski. The people doing this don't care about the community but we (the police) do. The people doing this are reckless. A woman, believed to be the wife of the dead man, with police at the scene today. Hijazi was shot through the neck - an apparent display of retribution for the killings of Tyrone Slemnik and Ali Jammas - both Hells Angels members. Only minutes earlier, a man named as 35-year-old Vasko Boskovski was shot on Charlestone Avenue, Earlwood in an apparently unrelated shooting. Mr Boskovski, of Macedonian heritage, was married and had two children believed to be three and four years old. Eva Radnai has lived in her Charleston Ave home for 40 years directly across the street from the Boskovskis. I know the family. They came here about four years ago. I know the children and her but not the man," she said. I just talk to the kids mainly. They're lovely, especially the kids. I heard like loud hammering, four or five times. When police knocked on Ms Radnia's door following the shooting she was too scared to open the door, not realising her neighbour had been killed. I didn't know what was happening I was bit scared I saw flashlights shining into my windows. I was ready to call the police. This morning I saw what happened, I didn't sleep a wink last night," she said. I didn't believe it. Then I saw the car not parked properly and heard the radio and put two and two together. Charleston Ave has been closed at both ends by police with public order and riot squad officers combing the street for clues. Police at the scene of a fatal shooting at Earlwood overnight.
