Bartley is wanted for questioning in connection with the Murder of Rohan Morris.
Sources close to the deceased 28-year-old Morris, reportedly say, he was at home in January 2016, when gunmen kicked open his door and sprayed him with bullets, allegedly in the presence of his 5-year-old daughter who he said his last “I love you,” to before covering her with a mattress in a bid to shield her from death – then taking in over 15 rounds of gunshot to his body.
The murder of Morris is said to be related to an ongoing gangs war in the Maverley area.
