[edit] Moran family members
Members of the Moran family include:
Lewis Moran was the patriarch and father of the Moran family. He became a long-term associate of Graham Kinniburgh after they met as workers on Melbourne's waterside. On March 31, 2004, he was shot dead, in broad daylight, in a hotel on Sydney Road, Brunswick.
At 10.40am on June 21, 2003, Jason Moran and associate Pasquale Barbaro were executed by a lone gunman whilst watching a Saturday morning Auskick Australian rules football clinic his children were attending. Police feared the murder of Jason Moran would lead to further violence in the Melbourne underworld war.
On June 15, 2000, Mark Moran was killed with two bullets as he was stepping into his car outside his luxury home in Aberfeldie. Mark Moran's real father, Leslie "Johnny" Cole, was shot dead at point blank range with .38 revolver in Sydney's 1982 underworld war.
