A community event in Logan, south of Brisbane, has turned into a homicide investigation following a fatal drive-by shooting outside a pub. Police are searching for at least three individuals involved in the attack, which occurred during a boxing event on Saturday.

Incident Summary

According to reports, a Mitsubishi ASX without number plates approached the drop-off zone at Fitzys Loganholme. Masked assailants fired at least six shots into a crowd gathered during an intermission. Nineteen-year-old Vana-Reese Schuster-Togiatau sustained fatal head and neck injuries and later died in hospital. Three men—Zachary Uchtman, Brodie Blackwood, and Kane Barrett—were also wounded in the attack.

Investigation Details

  • Status: Police have upgraded the case to a homicide investigation.
  • Vehicles: Authorities are examining a burnt-out Mitsubishi ASX found in Waterford West and a dual-cab utility discovered near Mount Tamborine.
  • Suspects: Investigators believe at least three people were involved and that a suspect may have suffered burns during the disposal of the vehicle.
  • Scope: Task Force Maxima is assisting with the inquiry, as police explore potential links to organised crime or outlaw motorcycle gangs.

Police Minister Dan Purdie has vowed that investigators are doing everything possible to bring the perpetrators to justice, while Detective Inspector Ian Galpin has appealed for public assistance. Authorities have urged anyone with information regarding the identity or whereabouts of the suspects to come forward. Updates on the investigation can be monitored through official Queensland Police Service channels.
