Chilling CCTV reveals moment slain gangster's wife desperately presses elevator buttons after her husband was peppered with eight bullets in an underground carpark
Video shows the terrifying moment the wife of a notorious bikie fled the scene of her husband's shooting and cowered in an elevator while trying to get help. Lone Wolf bikie Yusuf Nazlioglu, 40, was fatally shot multiple times in the basement car park of his apartment building in Sydney 's inner west in June 2022. The ex-gangster, who had been acquitted of shooting dead former Comanchero boss Mick Hawi, died the following day in hospital on June 28. New CCTV footage played in the NSW Supreme Court showed the moment Nazlioglu and his glamorous wife, Jade Jeske, pulled into the car park in a black Mercedes. Nazlioglu's killers were lying in wait in a silver Volkswagen Golf which had arrived only minutes before the couple were seen entering the carpark. A hooded gunman ran up to the Mercedes and opened fire, before running back to the Volkswagen, which then sped out of the car park. Ms Jeske could be seen rushing into an elevator and frantically pushing buttons as she tried to reach the ground floor, five levels up, and contact police. She then collapsed on her haunches in a state of shock as the lift began to move. Mohammed Baltagi, 26, Mohammed Hosni Khaled, 27, and Abdulrahman Mohamed Atteya, 31, were each charged with murder through a joint criminal agreement. On Monday, Atteya was found guilty of murder after lengthy deliberations by a jury. His family, who filled the NSW Supreme Court's public gallery, let out gasps, cries and prayers as the verdict was handed down. Earlier this month, Khaled was found guilty over the shooting while Baltagi was acquitted and walked free. Atteya and Khaled will remain behind bars until their sentencing dates. During the trial, Ms Jeske, formerly Jade Heffer, described the moment she ducked under the dashboard of the car as her husband was shot. She told the court she saw someone covering his head running with a pistol towards her husband as he stood next to their car. As Ms Jeske hid under the dash, she said she heard eight successive gunshots and then a further two, the jury heard.

The jury heard Nazlioglu's killing may have been motivated by the theft of two rented luxury vehicles from a business in Lansdale, in western Sydney. Crown prosecutor Eric Balodis said Nazlioglu had hired two Mercedes vehicles, one black and one white, from the business in May 2022. Nazlioglu had himself faced a lengthy murder trial in 2020 after Comanchero boss Mick Hawi was gunned down at Fitness First in Rockdale in 2018. He was accused of being the balaclava-clad gunman but he and Jamal Eljaidi - said to be his getaway driver - were both acquitted by a jury. The Crown alleged Nazlioglu was motivated to kill Hawi after the former close friends fell out when the relationship soured during a fishing trip to the Central Coast in 2016. Atteya, Baltagi and Khaled had all pleaded not guilty to their charges and denied any involvement in the shooting.

Emotional scenes in court as jury hands down verdict in brutal car park shooting that left a bikie dead
Gasps, tears and prayers were heard after a man was found guilty of brazenly shooting down an underworld figure over stolen luxury vehicles. Lone Wolf bikie Yusuf Nazlioglu, 40, was fatally shot multiple times in the car park of his apartment building in Sydney 's inner west in June 2022. The ex-gangster, who had been acquitted of shooting dead former Comanchero boss Mick Hawi, died the following day in hospital on June 28. Mohammed Baltagi, 26, Mohammed Hosni Khaled, 27, and Abdulrahman Mohamed Atteya, 31, were each charged with murder through a joint criminal agreement. The court heard prosecutors believed either Atteya or another man Rabieh Baltagi - who fled Australia in July 2022 - pulled the trigger. Khaled and Mohammed Baltagi were accused of planning the attack. On Monday, Atteya was found guilty of murder after lengthy deliberations by a jury. His family, who filled the NSW Supreme Court's public gallery, let out gasps, cries and prayers as the verdict was handed down. Atteya did not react initially but hugged his mother and other supporters before being escorted away by sheriffs. Earlier this month, Khaled was found guilty over the shooting while Baltagi was acquitted. During the trial, Nazlioglu's widow Jade Jeske, formerly Jade Heffer, described seeing her husband shot in the car park. She said she saw someone covering his head running with a pistol towards her husband as he stood next to their car. Ms Jeske ducked under the dash to hide as she heard eight successive gunshots and then a further two, the jury heard. The jury heard her husband's killing may have been motivated by the theft of two rented luxury vehicles from a business in Lansdale, in western Sydney. Crown prosecutor Eric Balodis said Nazlioglu had hired two Mercedes vehicles, one black and one white, from the business in May 2022. Footage played to the court show masked or hooded men entered the car park of Nazlioglu's home, the same one he would be shot in, on May 23 to retrieve the black car. A pair of Mercedes cars Nazlioglu failed to return to a rental business in Sydney's west were cited as a possible motive for his murder (pictured, Nazlioglu, wearing a black T-shirt, stealing-back the black Mercedes) Three days later, Ms Jeske saw a TikToker livestreaming from the same black Mercedes and was able to pinpoint its location in the Sydney CBD. CCTV showed Nazlioglu jumped from the passenger seat of the white Mercedes next to the black Mercedes, unlocked it and sped off. The court was told the three accused murderers had connections at the car rental business. Nazlioglu had himself faced a lengthy murder trial in 2020 after Comanchero boss Mick Hawi was gunned down at Fitness First in Rockdale in 2018. He was accused of being the balaclava-clad gunman but he and Jamal Eljaidi - said to be his getaway driver - were both acquitted by a jury. The Crown alleged Nazlioglu was motivated to kill Hawi after the former close friends fell out when the relationship soured during a fishing trip to the Central Coast in the summer of 2016/17. Atteya, Baltagi and Khaled had all pleaded not guilty to their charges and denied any involvement in the shooting. Baltagi was released from custody after he was acquitted on June 19. Atteya and Khaled will remain behind bars until their sentencing dates.
