Two teenage boys have been charged with murder following the fatal shooting of Marco Tapia, a 23-year-old university student, in Sydney earlier this month. Police say the incident was a case of mistaken identity. Tapia was shot inside his family's home in Glen Alpine on 1 September, just before 4 a.m., after reports of a home invasion. When officers arrived, they found Tapia with a gunshot wound. He died at the scene. An extensive police investigation revealed that the wrong house had been targeted. On Wednesday, two boys—one 14 years old and the other 16—were arrested and charged with murder. However, they are not alleged to have fired the weapon. Both face additional charges, including participating in a criminal group, contributing to criminal activity, possessing an unauthorized firearm, and driving vehicles without the owners' consent. The 14-year-old was also charged with damaging property using fire or an explosion. The boys have been denied bail and are set to appear in children’s court on Thursday. Tapia’s parents spoke to Channel Nine’s A Current Affair this week, describing the incident as an act of hate. They were at home with their daughter when the shooting occurred. Tapia’s mother, Claudia, said she remembered him taking his last breath. His father, Sergio, described Tapia as a beautiful, caring, and loving young man, calling his death "wasteful, useless, and ridiculously stupid." New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon has pledged to target those responsible for a recent wave of shootings in Sydney. Another man was killed on 2 September. Lanyon said, "One innocent victim is unacceptable to me," and added that police will not rest until they stop the violence. He emphasized that any action necessary to prevent further shootings will be taken.
