Dumped man dies from gunshot at Tweed Heads hospital days after bikie brawl
Homicide police are investigating after a man died from a gunshot wound after he was dumped at a hospital on the New South Wales-Queensland border days after a mass bikie brawl.
The victim was dropped outside a hospital in Tweed Heads around 4.30pm Saturday with a serious gunshot wound to his stomach.
Several hospital staff rushed outside to treat the man but he died a short time later.
The victim's girlfriend reportedly arrived at hospital with the man who was left for dead, screaming for help.
Hospital staff took the man in for surgery but he could not be saved.
There are reports the fatal wounding may be related to a brawl between Lone Wolf and Bandidos bikies outside a leagues club on Wednesday night.
Police have now said there is nothing to suggest the man was a bikie or that his injuries were linked to Wednesday's brawl between the rival outlaw motorcycle clubs but nothing would be ruled out.
The State Crime Command Homicide Squad are investigating the incident to determine whether it was linked to the escalating and violent turf war.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
