Deputy Commissioner Tracy Linford confirmed the man was known to police, but was not subject to a current counterterrorism investigation in a press conference on December 17.

Ms Linford said Mr Abdi “was on bail for some crimes act offences.”

Bail conditions included having a GPS tracking device fitted, which had been tampered with the night prior to the shooting.

Police were informed by the tracking device company and attended Mr Abdi’s address at 4.30pm and 8.30pm but failed to locate him.
