Two men have been charged with the murder of a man in Sydney's south west earlier this year.

Chinese national Qin Wu was fatally shot at a temple in Guildford on February 1.

Officer-in-charge of Strike Force Buttle, Detective Sergeant Justin Moynihan, said investigations into the circumstances surrounding Mr Wu's murder are continuing.

"We are alleging that Qin was shot when he intervened during an argument between his friend and the men charged," Det Sgt Moynihan said in a statement.

A 45-year-old man from Croydon was on Monday charged with murder and shoot with intent to murder and he was refused bail to appear at Burwood Local Court on Tuesday.
