A man has been executed in front of his 12-year-old son during a drive-by shooting in southwest Sydney.
Police said the 40-year-old-man was outside the Elite Fight Force mixed martial arts gym in Sefton just after 6.30am on Thursday when the killers struck.
The man, named in media reports as Taha Sabbagh, was going to the gym to train when the assassins pulled up in a Mazda car and shot him multiple times in the chest as his 12-year-old sat in the passenger seat of their vehicle.
