'BFL member' charged over shooting

Detectives investigating a western Sydney shooting have arrested a man they say is a Brothers For Life gang member.

A second Brothers For Life gang member has been charged over a midnight shooting in western Sydney.

Several shots were allegedly fired at a home on Lignite Place, Eagle Vale, last August.

No one was injured.

On Thursday detectives attached to the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad's Strike Force Sitella arrested a 27-year-old man at the South Coast Correctional Centre at Nowra Hill.

He has been charged with discharging a firearm at a dwelling in the course of organised criminal activity, aggravated possession of an unregistered firearm in a public place without authority, intentionally destroying property and giving the shortened firearm to another.

The man has been remanded in custody to appear in Campbelltown Local Court on Wednesday.

It's alleged he is a member of the western Sydney street gang Brothers For Life.

An alleged Brothers For Life faction leader had already been charged in relation to the Eagle Vale shooting.
