26 year-old Tristan Sherry, was a suspected gunman on the night of the incident.

The cause of death was determined to be a traumatic blunt force injury to the head, combined with sharp injuries to the chest.
These injuries occurred just minutes after the shooting incident.
The inquest was adjourned to facilitate the progression of a related criminal case.
