A man is on the run after a teenager was killed in a drive-by shooting during a brawl at a popular beach north of Sydney.
The 18-year-old man was part of a group fighting in the Bar Beach car park in Newcastle around 11.40pm on Wednesday when a white SUV pulled up.
A man armed with a gun got out of the vehicle, fired, and fled the scene, police said.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated the teenager, who is yet to be formally identified, but he died at the scene.
About 20 minutes later, emergency services received reports that a car, believed to be the SUV involved in the shooting, was on fire on Croudace Road, Tingira Heights, around 13 kilometres south of the car park.
A crime scene has been established in the car park, with local police and homicide squad detectives investigating the shooting.
Locals passing by the crime scene on Thursday morning said they were “shocked” at the shooting.
