Two men will appear in court today after being charged in relation to a shooting in south-west Sydney last year.

A parked car was found damaged after reports of gunshots in Bailey Street, Leumeah, just after 4am on June 20 last year. No one was injured.

A man aged 41 was arrested at the time and charged with unrelated matters.
