A Sydney real estate agent has been seriously injured after being shot in the head in what is thought to be a professional “hit”, and he remains in a critical condition in a hospital in Melbourne.
The director at Morgans in the Sydney suburb of Castle Hill, Sid Morgan, was shot in the face late on Thursday night.
According to News Corp, the shooting took place outside a residence in Spraypoint Drive at Point Cook in Melbourne, and Mr Morgan was left to die at the end of the street.
It has been reported that neighbours said they heard an argument before a gunshot went off.
On Saturday morning, investigators arrested two men, who were later released pending further investigation.
News Corp has also reported that Mr Morgan allegedly had a history of failed business dealings, bankruptcy and debt.
It said that he apparently owed a lot of people money and was living on the edge financially.
Mr Morgan is a former police detective, who more than 12 years ago shot and killed Mansour Suha, his brother-in-law, in Sydney, after Mr Suha had been charged with molesting three girls.
Mr Morgan specialises in selling high-end luxury homes throughout NSW, according to his online profile. It also says he won awards in a range of disciplines, including tech, marketing and customer service.
Morgans also boasts a significant community involvement called the Morgans Foundation of Hope, a totally self-funded charity with the sole discretion to assist anyone in need.
Mr Morgan wrote online that he is both “astonished and humbled” by the success of Morgans, and is now in a position to provide “support, assistance and inspiration to those who need it most”.
