An international warrant has been issued for a poncho-wearing rapper turned gunman who allegedly jumped out of a stolen Porsche and gunned down an underworld figure at a petrol station.

Niddal Acherkouk, 31, was fatally shot at a BP in the central Sydney suburb of Surry Hills in November last year, after he’d finished having dinner at a nearby Turkish restaurant.

Acherkouk had parked his car at the fuel station when he was ambushed by two masked gunmen. They shot him as he tried to flee about 7.45 pm on November 22, 2024.

One of the assailants wearing a poncho is believed to be Harley Johan, 31, who goes by the rap name YC EWZY.

He is believed to be overseas, with detectives applying in September for a warrant for his arrest.

A YouTube clip of Johan’s song Reckless was released in March and has garnered more than 25,000 views. It is described as “a vivid picture of the city’s darker side, caught up in cycles of violence, guns and drugs … where survival often comes at a high price”.

The two-minute video opens with a scene of masked gunman jumping out of a car and killing a driver as he pulls into an underground car park.

A locked Instagram account bearing Johan’s name has more than 6000 followers.

The brazen attack was captured on CCTV and released by NSW Police on Thursday as they appeal for public help to identify the second gunman.

The man in the footage is seen wearing a black Nike hooded jacket, blue track pants and Nike runners.

He jumps back into in a grey Porsche and speeds off with his accomplice. The luxury car was later found alight in Kensington, with police believing the gunmen fled in another stolen white Audi hatchback.

Investigations under Strike Force Moorlands are ongoing.

Dozens of public shootings, arson attacks and kidnappings across Sydney in late 2024 led police to set up the 150-officer-strong Taskforce Falcon in May to crush the underworld warfare.
