An accused Brothers 4 Life gang murderer "vehemently" denies allegations he killed one man and shot at another in Sydney's west last year, his lawyer says.

Mohamad Kouaider, 28, was one of six alleged Brothers 4 Life street gang members arrested in a police swoop on Thursday.

Detectives charged the Auburn man with murdering Yehyah Amood and shooting Bassam Hijazi with intent to murder on October 14 last year in Greenacre.

Court papers show the alleged murder and attempted murder took place in broad daylight, about 1.20pm.

Kouaider did not apply for bail during a brief appearance at Burwood Local Court on Thursday and it was formally refused.

His solicitor Sam Abbas told AAP he would fight the charges.

"He remains an accused person, an accused person only," Mr Abbas said outside court.

"He vehemently denies the charges and in due course he'll mount his defence."

Kouaider will reappear at court via video link in a week.

Mr Amoud was shot dead last year as he and his friend, Mr Hijazi, sat on Greenacre Road in a Mercedes that reportedly bore "BFL" number plates.
