Two men have been charged with murder following the death of a 25-year-old woman at Dicky Beach on Friday morning, 27 May.
Preliminary information indicated that shortly after 9am a disturbance occurred at a Coolum Street, Dicky Beach house during which time a woman sustained gun-shot injury.
She was taken to Caloundra Base Hospital by a 58-year-old man known to her, who is now voluntarily assisting police with enquiries.
The woman later passed away in hospital.
The man and woman were known to each other, however, preliminary investigations suggested this was not a domestic related incident.
Both were visiting the Coolum Street address and were friends of the homeowner, a woman, who has now spoken with investigators.
A 30-year-old Narangba man was arrested around 3.30pm on 27 May after his vehicle was intercepted on Fitzwilliam Street at Sippy Downs. The man was charged with murder and has been denied police bail. He was due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 28 May.
The second man, a 30-year-old from Wurtulla, has been charged with one count of murder, unlawful possession of a category A weapon, two counts of possession of dangerous drugs (cannabis and methylamphetamine) and one count each of possession of tainted property, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and unlicensed driving.
He was denied police bail and was due to appear in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday 30 May.
