Two teenage boys have been charged with murder after the shooting death of a university student in Sydney this month, which police say was a case of mistaken identity.
Marco Tapia, 23, was shot inside his family’s home in Glen Alpine early on 1 September.
Officers were called to the house just before 4am that day by reports of a home invasion. They found Tapia with a gunshot wound; he died at the scene.
