A man has been charged over an alleged retribution killing in Sydney's south-west earlier this year.

Police found Bol Deng, 20, shot dead on the road of Stella Street, Fairfield, just after 8.30am on February 27.

Following inquiries, at about 6.40am yesterday, detectives carried out two search warrants in Auburn.

In one search, 25-year-old Kerim Kurtoglu was arrested and charged with multiple offences, including accessory to murder.

Police allege Kurtoglu was paid a large sum of money to organise five cars and a gun, which were allegedly used in the fatal shooting of Deng in February.

"Police will allege in court the man was hired by an organised crime network to ... arrange vehicles and actually load the gun that killed Bol Deng," Homicide Squad boss Danny Doherty said.

"We believe it was part of a contract killing with a wider range of associates.

"It takes more than one person to commit an organised crime murder."

Bol Deng was found on Stella Street in Fairfield Heights with gunshot wounds, and died a short time later.

Detectives also say the alleged hit on Deng was an act of retribution.

His brother, Dut Deng, was named as the alleged gunman who killed underworld kingpin Alen Moradian in a Bondi Junction car park last year.

Kurtoglu did not apply for bail and appeared in Bankstown court today.

The investigation continues.
