POLICE have charged a third man over the alleged Hamilton South murder of Anthony Nugent.
Strike Force Alcheringa detectives on Tuesday swooped, transporting a 26-year-old man from a prison in Junee to Wagga Wagga police station to lay the charges.
He is the third man charged with the same two offences - murder and supply pistol to person unauthorised to possess it - in relation to the incident.
Two other men, one arrested in Waratah and another in Sydney, remain before the courts.
The 26-year-old will face court in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday.
The investigation began after emergency services were called to Fowler Street at 11pm on September 6.
After initial reports of a shooting, Newcastle City police district officers found a 57-year-old man with a bullet wound.
Paramedics treated Mr Nugent at the scene but he could not be revived.
