A man shot dead while bringing in rubbish bins at his home in Sydney's west had been involved in a dispute with the family of his suspected killer, police say.
Ali Jammas, 36, was gunned down outside his Abbotsbury home on the morning of July 12.
Police from the Tactical Operations Unit on Wednesday arrested a 28-year-old man at his Yagoona home in relation to the killing.
Police have also arrested a 29-year-old man from Yagoona and expect to charge him with being an accessory after the fact to murder.
Police Detective Superintendent Michael Willing said Mr Jammas, a Hells Angels associate, was in a dispute with the 28-year-old's family.
"That (the dispute) has led to his death," Det Supt Willing said at police headquarters in Parramatta.
He would not detail any details about the nature of the dispute.
He said it was tragic that Mr Jammas had died in front of his family.
Like many of the other shooting incidents in the state recently, the attack on Mr Jammas was underpinned by organised crime, Det Supt Willing said.
He said the two arrested men were not related to each other and were currently at Bankstown police station in the process of being charged.
"We do anticipate that these people will be before the courts shortly," Mr Willing added.
He said police were searching other houses in Sydney in connection with the killing and expected to make more arrests.
Mr Willing said officers had so far found a large amount of ammunition, drugs and a ballistic vest in the raids, and police and homicide detectives would investigate recent west Sydney shootings "methodically and professionally".
"My message for those who want to engage in this type of activity is that you will face the consequences," he said.
The arrests come a day after a man was killed and another injured in a shooting in Revesby, in Sydney's southwest.
Police believe both men were affiliated with the Brothers4Life gang.
