THE widow of a security guard shot in the back during a robbery has made an appeal to the public to help police find the "cowards" who killed her husband.
Security guard Gary Allibon, 59, was shot dead during an armed raid on Sussex Street, Sydney, on Monday June 7, 2010.
His widow, Monica , joined police as they offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her husband’s killer.
"It's nearly been three years since we lost Gary and I feel as empty today as I did the day of his death,” Ms Allibon said. "The murder of someone you love changes your life forever.”
"I'm hoping this reward will convince someone to come forward and provide detectives with the missing links they need to catch Gary's killer.”
Ms Allibon broke down as she described her husband as a "kind and affectionate man” who was killed by an act of "cowardice”.
"He was such a beautiful man,” she said. "Why did that person shoot Gary in the back for no reason.”
Mr Allibon and another guard were confronted by a group of four armed men when they entered the foyer of a commercial building on Sussex Street.
One shot was fired from a handgun before the offenders stole an amount of cash from the guards and fled the scene in a stolen, silver-coloured, high-performance Audi S8 sedan.
Mr Allibon sustained a gunshot wound and was treated by NSW Ambulance Paramedics at the scene before being taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital but later died.
Strike Force Lorimer, comprising detectives from the State Crime Command’s Robbery and Serious Crime Squad, continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Mr Allibon’s death and are hopeful the announcement of the reward will encourage someone to come forward.
"No matter how irrelevant or seemingly insignificant the information might seem, it could be the much-needed piece of the puzzle we need to find the people responsible for Mr Allibon’s death,” Commander of the Robbery and
Serious Crime Squad, Detective Superintendent Luke Moore, said.
The NSW Government’s reward of up to $100,000 is available for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Mr Allibon’s death.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000
