Police say the Ibrahim family is not cooperating with investigations into another drive-by shooting last night near their family home in Sydney's west.
A house next door to the Merrylands home was peppered with bullets about 8:30pm (AEST).
A 42-year-old woman and her seven-year-old son inside the house at the time escaped injury.
It is the fourth shooting involving the family of Kings Cross nightclub identity John Ibrahim so far this year.
His older brother, former bikie leader Sam Ibrahim, was shot in the legs outside the neighbouring house during a drive-by attack in January.
Superintendent Brett McFadden says police are investigating whether the Ibrahim family owns the house targeted last night, but the family is not cooperating.
"The obvious concern is the proximity of the premises to the neighbouring property, which has been correctly identified by the media previously as being an Ibrahim family home," Superintendent McFadden said.
"The proximity of this home and the incident last night is a natural concern.
"The people that are involved in this, whether they be victims or otherwise, are often silent. They fail to share the information that may assist us.
"The key message here is in order to solve complex, very challenging and very difficult issues the police must work with the community and not in isolation.
