Man named in fatal Heddon Greta shooting
Homicide Squad detectives have released an image of a man and CCTV footage of a vehicle, as they continue to investigate the fatal shooting of a man in the state’s Hunter region late last year.
About 10.50pm on Tuesday 27 December 2022, emergency services responded to reports of a man being shot at a home on Traders Way, Heddon Greta, about 20km east of Cessnock.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the man; however he died at the scene.
He has since been identified as 25-year-old Zachery ‘Zac’ Davies-Scott, known to many in the area as ‘Donnie’.
Local police from Hunter Valley Police District conducted initial investigations, before the matter was referred to the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad under Strike Force Roslyn.
Police have been told a number of people forced entry to the home before Mr Scott was shot. The group then left the scene in a white SUV.
As investigations continue, strike force detectives have released CCTV footage of a white SUV seen driving erratically along Main Road, Heddon Greta, shortly after 10.50pm.
