‘Spray it’: woman bailed after allegedly helping gunman

The woman, who was accused of carpooling after a gunman shot her in the house, was released on bail after the court decided that she did not risk public safety.

Terleaha Williams-Oliver, 20, is alleged to have been part of a joint criminal plot to fire a semi-automatic rifle at a family home in Sydney’s west in what police believe was a targeted attack.

Two men, 30-year-old Steven Mate and 31-year-old Christopher Leonard, are alleged to have driven past the Mount Druitt home in a dark-coloured hatchback in May 2025.

“Go out there, spray, drive some and get out,” one message sent between the three defendants said.

It was claimed that Mate, who parked outside the house for a short time, fired 26 shots into the building.

More bullets then sprayed into the building as the car drove away.

While there were seven adults and four young children inside, no one was injured.

More alleged details of the public shooting emerged on Monday as Williams-Oliver made a bid for bail in the NSW Supreme Court.

The 20-year-old Indigenous woman is accused of booking a rideshare for one of her accomplices following the shooting.

Prosecutors allege he was part of a plan to target the boyfriend of one of the home’s residents.

He was arrested and detained in December; He was facing charges of discharging a firearm into a dwelling, participating in a criminal group, and possessing an unlicensed firearm.

Judge Sarah Huggett granted Williams-Oliver bail on Monday after he was approved for a drug rehabilitation program on the NSW Central Coast.

Prosecutor Ben Edye did not oppose his release.

The judge said the 20-year-old had suffered previous trauma, had been diagnosed with psychological and psychiatric problems and was a vulnerable person in custody due to his First Nations status.

Judge Huggett added that the strict conditions of the 12-week rehabilitation programme, as well as additional bail conditions imposed by the court, meant Williams-Oliver would not re-offend or pose a risk to the community.

He will need to immediately check into a halfway house after being released from Dillwynia Prison on Tuesday.

He was also prohibited from drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs while on bail.

All three defendants will appear in Penrith Local Court on May 8.

None of them came to defense.
