A killer is still at large more than 36 hours after a man was fatally shot in the head and another injured at a western Sydney park where children were playing.
Police believe there were up to 10 people in the park when the 20-year-old man, named in reports as Antonio Hermiz, was killed after 5pm at Wetherill Park on Friday.
A 18-year-old man, reportedly Ronaldo Odisho, was shot in the chest and transferred to Liverpool hospital.
NSW detectives have formed a strike force to investigate the "gutless" shooting, which they say was targeted.
"I was appalled that there were up to 10 people in the park at the time of the shooting; these are people who were going about their business, enjoying time together before Christmas," Detective Superintendent Peter Lennon said in a statement.

"It is unacceptable that these people have been put at risk in what is - in reality - an incident I'd describe as gutless and appalling."
Mr Odisho was in a stable condition on Saturday afternoon.
