Artemios Mintzas, 60, faced court for the first time on October 7, 2025, charged with 18 counts of shooting with intent to murder after allegedly firing up to 50 bullets at random people in Croydon Park, Sydney, on Sunday night. The incident led to a lockdown and injured over a dozen, with one man in serious condition. A dispute over his legal representation delayed proceedings, but Mintzas confirmed Dymphna Hawkins as his lawyer. He is due back in court in December.
