A white Kia Stonic was reported to have left the scene shortly after the shooting; the car was reported stolen during a burglary at a home in Oxenford on November 24.

The car was found driving along Kumbari Avenue at Labrador, and police were able to deflate the tyres with a special device, causing it to stop at around 1.30am yesterday.

The driver, a 22-year-old from Beenleigh, fled on foot into nearby bushland, but was discovered by police hiding underwater.
