North Lakes Shooting Update: Police Release Footage of Two Suspects

In the aftermath of a shooting incident at a North Lakes car park last month, police have released CCTV footage of two male suspects believed to be connected to the investigation.



The shooting occurred on Monday, March 24, at approximately 9:40pm in a car park on Lakefield Drive, where a 42-year-old man was shot in the arm with the bullet also impacting his chest. The victim was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in serious but stable condition following an altercation with a group allegedly consisting of three men and a teenage girl.

Authorities have already made two arrests in connection with the case. On March 25, a 17-year-old girl was taken into custody and charged with attempted murder, possessing dangerous drugs, unlawful possession of weapons, and authority required to possess explosives. She has already appeared in Ipswich Children’s Court.

Additionally, police arrested a 40-year-old man on March 27, who faces multiple charges including possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of property suspected of being proceeds of an offence, possession of items used in the commission of a crime, and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Redcliffe Magistrates Court on May 16.

Despite these arrests, two suspects remain at large. Police have released descriptions of both men:

The first suspect, seen wearing a white T-shirt in the footage, is described as approximately 180 cm tall with a Pacific Islander appearance, black short hair, and brown eyes. He has distinctive tattoos on his neck and face, including a crown above one eyebrow and wording above the other eyebrow and across his cheeks and nose.

The second suspect, pictured in a black T-shirt, stands around 165 cm tall with a solid build, brown eyes, and brown shaved/short hair. He has extensive tattoos covering both arms, his neck, and right leg, including a prominent cross across the front of his neck.

Both men are believed to be in the Logan area. Although the investigation is ongoing, police have indicated there is no current threat to public safety.



Authorities are urging anyone who recognises these individuals or has information regarding their whereabouts since March 24 to contact police immediately.

Teen Charged with Attempted Murder After Shooting at North Lakes

A 17-year-old girl has been charged with attempted murder following a shooting incident at Lakefield Drive, North Lakes.



The incident occurred Monday night when emergency services responded to reports of a shooting in a car park on Lakefield Drive around 9:40pm. Upon arrival, they found a 42-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his arm that also affected his chest area.

According to Queensland Police, the victim was shot after an interaction with a group of four individuals – allegedly three men and the teenage girl. The man was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital where he remains in serious but stable condition.

Police investigations moved swiftly, resulting in the arrest of the teenage suspect in Riverview around 2am Tuesday morning. The 17-year-old Windsor girl faces multiple serious charges:

  • Attempted murder
  • Possessing dangerous drugs
  • Unlawful possession of weapons
  • Authority required to possess explosives

The case was briefly mentioned in the Ipswich Children’s Court on Tuesday afternoon before being adjourned to the Brisbane Children’s Court for next Tuesday. The teen remains in custody and is expected to apply for bail at that hearing.

Queensland Police have indicated that the three male suspects allegedly involved in the incident remain at large. However, authorities have stated that investigations suggest there is “no threat to public safety.”

As part of their investigation, police have seized an Audi Q5 believed to have been driven by the alleged offenders.

The shooting has raised concerns among North Lakes residents, as the area is generally considered a relatively safe suburban community. The incident occurred in a commercial district that includes various retail outlets and restaurants.



Police are urging anyone with information related to the incident to come forward as investigations continue.

Proposed North Lakes Drive Medical Centre Approved

The proposed medical centre with pharmacy for vacant lots in 42 North Lakes Drive and 53 Endeavour Boulevard in North Lakes is close to being a reality.

Based on the development application, the Moreton Bay Regional Council approved Lot 72/73 Developments’ material change of use for the medical centre and pharmacy as well as the coordinated signage plan on 6 March 2019 under certain conditions.

Designed by Y Squared Architects, the 1,500-sqm medical centre will feature a 140-sqm pharmacy and will have services for physio, dental, and radiology.

The 4360-sqm site is on the corner of North Lakes and Lakefield Drive, with access via the adjacent North Lakes Central complex.

Whilst located in a Priority Koala Assessable Development Area, the applicant assured  that the site does not contain any Regulated Vegetation and is not affected by requirements of the Vegetation Management Act 1999.

So far, there has been no issue regarding the scale of the building. It complements the recently completed Aldi store, which is a single storey building adjoining the western boundary of the site, and the two storey building to the north, which is lower in elevation than the subject site.

Amendments Required

Despite giving their approval, the Council required the applicant to amend their plans showing cantilevered awnings extending a minimum 3.7m over Lakefield Drive road reserve and allows for the retention of existing street trees.

Council also requested Lot 72/73 to submit an amendment showing a full width pavement to be constructed on Lakeview Drive, excluding locations of established street trees and replacement plantings as shown on the plans.

This will be in accordance with the requirements of the North Lakes Sector Plan and the North Lakes Town Centre Landscape Design Requirements.

The last of the three required amendments is to provide a car parking layout with turning templates to accommodate an HRV service vehicle.

Based on the proposed application, the developer will provide 67 carparking spaces, an ambulance bay and a loading bay and be controlled by boom gates to stop workers from nearby businesses parking there.
