Finks bikie associate dies from a targeted shooting after stumbling into Liverpool Hospital
An associate of the Finks motorcycle gang has been identified as the victim of a targeted shooting in Sydney’s west.
Jamie Goodworth, 32, had staggered into Liverpool Hospital but died just after 1am on Saturday after being shot twice.
Mr Goodworth, a father from Mount Druitt, arrived at hospital at 12.53pm on Saturday with two gunshot wounds so serious that medical staff were unable to identify him.
He was immediately taken to emergency surgery, but could not be saved.
His family, along with his sister Jess, have since paid tribute, saying life was ‘so unfair and mean’.

“You were my absolute favorite family member I had left and I am devastated that you were taken from me and your family.”

Liverpool City Police Commissioner Adam Whyte said Mr Goodworth appeared to be the victim of a targeted attack.
“It looks like it’s a target. It does not appear to be random,” he told reporters.
Supt Whyte said a man in a blue car dropped him off at the hospital and that vehicle has since been impounded.
Supt Whyte declined to say more about the man who drove to hospital.
“We are investigating with the State Crime Command and investigating locations associated with the blue vehicle we have in custody,” he said.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s homicide unit are investigating the incident and the victim’s links to his associates.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact Liverpool Police or Crime Stoppers.
