Police charge a 19-year-old man with murder after a 12-year-old boy is shot dead in Sydney’s northwest. The incident is reported to have occurred in September, with police called to a unit on Fairway Drive in Norwest on 21 September following reports of a shooting.

Multiple outlets report the accused is arrested and charged at or after a detention facility in Silverwater. ABC, The Guardian, The Age, and the Sydney Morning Herald all identify the man as 19 and describe the charge as murder, citing police statements. The Daily Mail similarly reports a teenager is charged in connection with the boy’s death.

While the core account is consistent, other listed articles focus on different or additional charges and incidents—such as teenage stabbing cases in Western Sydney or accessory and gang-link allegations—rather than the shooting of the 12-year-old boy. Those details are not part of the main shooting-murder case described across most sources.
