Mr Hamka, who also goes by the name of Moses, blew a kiss to two family members sitting at the back of the courtroom.

His lawyer did not apply for bail and he was remanded to appear at a filing hearing on Tuesday.

He also faced charges of assisting the principal offender, possessing a prohibited firearm, stalking and making threats to kill.

The two arrests follow the revelation from police that men suspected to be linked to the shooting are believed to have set fire to the wrong car in a bungled attempt to burn evidence.

The blunder meant police seized an intact Suzuki Swift they believed was travelling in a convoy with a stolen black Porsche SUV driven by the suspected gunmen.

Detectives are continuing to appeal for anyone with information about the shooting, or a number of vehicles believed to be connected to it, to come forward.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppers.com.au.
