Vince Focarelli had boasted only weeks ago that he was "the only man on the planet with nine lives".COMANCHERO bikie Vince Focarelli has refused to tell police who shot and killed his son Giovanni in a ''targeted attack'' in Adelaide's north last night.
A blue sedan with West Australian registration plates was parked on Prospect Rd with its headlights and hazard lights on.
Ten police vehicles sealed off Prospect Rd within minutes of the first call for an ambulance around 9pm.
A witness said an ambulance officer had told them that whoever was responsible for the shooting was still on the loose.

A group of people who arrived at the scene at 9.35pm had to be restrained by police from entering the crime scene. One woman had to be tackled by three officers.
Minutes earlier, paramedics had gathered around the rear of the vehicle and were believed to be checking a body for signs of life.
A nearby Prospect Rd resident said: "I heard a loud noise.
"It was a strange sound. I came down and there were police already here.
"As I got here, they rushed someone from the car to the ambulance."
Police were searching the immediate area around the car for evidence.

Det Supt Moyle stopped short of calling the latest shooting a bikie war but said police are concerned that the situation could escalate.
After a court appearance earlier this month, Vince bragged on Facebook that he "feels like a rock star" from all the media attention generated by his narrow escapes.
It was posted on December 16, the day after surviving his third assassination attempt after being shot in the leg at Munno Para West.

Giovanni, in his early 20s, was stabbed in the stomach and chest outside his father's Hindley Street tattoo parlour Ink Central on May 22, 2010.
Vince, whose alleged associates engaged in a gunfight at a North Adelaide cafe, broke his silence to counter rumours that the Comanchero Motorcycle Club is plagued by infighting.
In a statement signed by him and released by him earlier this month, he called for privacy.
"Mr Focarelli denies there is any disharmony or in-house fighting within the Comancheros Motorcycle Club," the statement said.DISCLAIMER:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text. Copyright remains with the original copyright holder.
