FULL VIDEO: Coconut Cartel figure Lorenzo Lemalu, gunned down in Vietnam hit

#gridsparta #bikies Lorenzo Lemalu, 24, has now been shot and killed in what is believed to be a targeted attack in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. On or around May 21, 2026, he was reportedly shot multiple times while seated at an upscale seafood restaurant believed to be named Royal Seafood Restaurant. Another man, understood to be an associate, was also injured during the incident. Early reports suggest the shooting was deliberate and targeted, with investigators treating it as part of a broader organised crime context. Concerns have been raised that the killing could trigger retaliatory violence in Australia, particularly within Sydney’s ongoing gang conflicts. Shortly after the incident, footage and images began circulating widely across social media platforms. The content was shared through multiple pages, including SCN World Star and Outlawmedia, showing scenes from the aftermath of the shooting. The rapid spread of the material online has drawn further attention to the case and intensified public discussion around overseas-linked criminal activity involving Australian figures. Lemalu, also known as LEMZ or Renzo, was described in reporting and allegations as a senior figure within Sydney’s Coconut Cartel, a breakaway faction said to have emerged from a split inside the broader Alameddine crime network. His death has escalated concerns among authorities and observers that disputes originating in Sydney’s underworld are increasingly extending beyond Australia’s borders and playing out internationally. He had strong ties to western Sydney, particularly the Merrylands area, where he was previously associated with the Proper 60 crew. That group has been linked in reporting to the wider Alameddine network. Lemalu was also reported to have had a tattoo associated with the crew, reflecting earlier affiliations within Sydney’s street level networks. In addition to his alleged criminal associations, Lemalu had some visibility within drill music circles. He appeared in the 2022 music video Up The Score by Ali “Ay Huncho” Younes, a rapper who has been linked in media reporting to individuals connected to Alameddine aligned groups. These intersections between music culture, street identity, and alleged criminal networks have been repeatedly highlighted in commentary around Sydney’s evolving gang landscape. After leaving Australia in October 2022, Lemalu is believed to have lived intermittently overseas, including time in locations such as Dubai and Albania. During this period, he was reportedly part of a wider group of individuals connected to Sydney networks who were operating from offshore locations. The Coconut Cartel has been described in reporting and police commentary as a breakaway faction formed after internal disputes within the Alameddine network escalated into violent conflict. It has been linked to allegations involving retaliatory violence, including shootings, firebombings, and targeted attacks, with some incidents reportedly filmed and circulated online for intimidation or reputation building purposes. The group is also alleged to have drawn in younger street crews such as KVT and G7, contributing to an ongoing cycle of retaliation and counter retaliation against Alameddine aligned members. These dynamics have been described as fluid, with shifting alliances and frequent splintering among associates. Several other figures have been mentioned in connection with alleged coordination of activities from overseas, including Iziah Utai and Anthony Pele, who is wanted in relation to a fatal shooting in Greenacre in 2023. These individuals are frequently referenced in media reporting about the broader conflict, though their exact roles remain subject to ongoing investigations. Tensions between the rival factions are reported to have escalated following a series of failed assassination attempts and disputes linked to illicit tobacco distribution networks. These disputes are believed to have contributed to a sustained wave of violence across western and southwestern Sydney, with multiple incidents over recent years attributed by police to the same underlying conflict. In response, NSW Police established Strike Force Halesowen under the Raptor Squad, focusing on disrupting the networks believed to be involved in the feud. The operation has targeted associates, alleged facilitators, and lower level participants, with ongoing arrests and intelligence led investigations continuing across multiple jurisdictions.
