Did you see these vehicles at Felton?
Anyone who saw one of two vehicles at Felton in March could be a vital help to a police homicide investigation.
Toowoomba detectives are seeking information about two vehicles that are connected to a shooting in March in Harlaxton that left a man in a critical condition.
The man died on Monday, May 16, due to injuries sustained from the shooting and medical complications.
Detectives believe that the man was shot while driving a vehicle on Ruthven Street and attempting to evade a stolen white Ford Ranger Dual Cab.
Investigations suggest the firearm was discharged from within the Dual Cab which was reported stolen from a Wilsonton address on Sunday, March 13.
Three people were charged a week later with the alleged theft and use of the vehicle prior to the shooting.
A 17-years-old boy was charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and a 19-years-old Newton man and a 22-years-old Newtown man were both charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle and driving without a licence.
Investigators are seeking any sightings of the Ford Ranger in the Felton area between 2am, and 5.30am on March 15, before it was found burnt out on Nunkulla Road.
It bore the distinctive false number plates, ‘SCUM’.
Police are also appealing for anyone who may have seen a stolen 2021 gray Mazda CU9 SUV on McGovern Road, Felton and travelling towards the area where the destroyed Ford Ranger was located around the time of the incident, to come forward.
