You’re Friendly Neighbourhood Assassin

He was an extreme sports influencer with a passion for charity—so how did he end up behind the scope of a sniper rifle, crosshairs locked on one of Australia’s most feared underworld figures?

On a warm summer night at the Perth Motorplex, under the gaze of hundreds, underworld figure Nick Martin was gunned down by a sniper. The killing sparked one of Australia’s largest manhunts, drawing in the Federal Police, Interpol, and the FBI. When police finally made an arrest, the suspect was nothing like expected — a coffee van owner and extreme sports adventurer. Now, as he prepares to testify against a leading bikie, documentarian Jake Blackburn unravels how a big-hearted base jumper ended up behind a sniper’s scope — and what his future holds.
