Police charge a third man in connection with the fatal shooting of Joshua MacDonald, 40, in Merrylands West, about three weeks after the incident. The reports say police describe the shooting as a case of mistaken identity and have continued investigations leading to the latest charge.
The outlets frame the development as a breakthrough in an ongoing police investigation rather than the final outcome. Both sources agree on the timing of the breakthrough and the central allegation from police that the victim was not the intended target. Details beyond the charging and the circumstances described by police are not included in the supplied excerpts, and no differences in interpretation between the outlets are apparent from the information provided.
