Relatives of a Belmont man who was shot dead on February 17 believe he was the victim of an ongoing gang war in the community.

Around 11.40 am, Marvin Phillip, of Vincent Brown Street, Gonzales, went to Walcott Lane near Belle Eau Road to collect a drill for work.

He was confronted by three armed men and moments later residents reported hearing several gunshots.
