Police hunt Sydney rapper after brazen Surry Hills killing
Harley Johan, wanted over the fatal shooting of Nadal Acherkouk linked to Sydney's gangland drug war, faces an international arrest warrant issued nearly a year after the attack.
- On November 22, 2024, Niddal Acherkouk was ambushed and fatally shot at a Cleveland Street service station in Surry Hills after returning from dinner at a nearby Turkish restaurant.
- The killing follows a string of gangland murders that prompted Taskforce Falcon; police say Acherkouk had links to organised crime and the Comanchero bikie gang.
- Two masked shooters, including one attacker wearing a poncho, chased Acherkouk between pumps before fleeing in a stolen Porsche burnt out in Kensington, then escaping in a stolen white Audi hatchback.
- NSW Police released new CCTV and appealed for help to identify a second gunman and locate rapper Harley Johan, 31, also known as YC Ewzy, believed to be offshore; Police Superintendent Andrew Garner called it "an outrageous incident".
- The March song `Reckless` and earlier visuals have drawn scrutiny as Harley Johan posted videos depicting drive-by shootings, with `Reckless` garnering more than 25,000 views amid an international warrant for the poncho-wearing suspect.
