Two women allegedly shot in separate incidents in southeast Queensland were from the same social circles and had both spent time in prison.
Linley Anyos, 33, is in a critical condition after being shot in the back while sitting in the passenger seat of a car parked outside a house on Trees Road in Tallebudgera on the Gold Coast around midday on Wednesday.
Ms Anyos, who Daily Mail Australia previously revealed had served prison time for a string of offenses including weapons, drugs and driving charges, had been at the property helping a friend move.
The alleged gunman remains at large, while police search for a man who fled the scene in a tow truck.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal Anyos shared the same network of friends as Chloe Jade Mason, 23, who was allegedly shot dead outside a house in Caboolture, north of Brisbane, shortly after midnight on 22 December.
Like Anyos, Mason had an extensive criminal record and was facing a litany of charges in the Brisbane magistrates and supreme courts at the time of his death.
Ms Mason had also previously been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of drug supply.
After Wednesday’s shooting, members of Anyos and Mason’s inner circle flocked to the Internet to share their shock over the double tragedy.

The search for the suspected gunman and Ms Anyos’ gun continued on Friday morning, as she continues to fight for her life at Gold Coast University Hospital.
Police believe the shot was fired from the back seat of the car, possibly by a man known to Anyos.
Detectives have not ruled out the possibility that the shooting was an accident.
The Tallebudgera house had just been sold and was full of movers and locals who had come to the property to purchase items listed for sale.
Chloe Jade Mason, known to those close to her as CeeJay, was allegedly chased and shot by two men in Caboolture, south-east Queensland, just days before Christmas.
It is understood Ms Anyos was part of a group who were there to help pack the belongings of a man who lived in a shed at the rear of the property.
Ms. Anyos has been in and out of court for various crimes over the past five years, with her most recent appearance taking place on Monday, just two days before she was shot.
Her criminal history includes being accused of supplying cocaine, allegedly being found with a loaded gun following a road rage incident in 2020, and being arrested throwing a syringe full of GHB out of a car window in January last year. .
During his 2023 court hearing, his lawyer Lisa Searing said Anyos had a difficult childhood but had recently turned to a life of crime after falling in with some bad people.
“Her grandparents adore her, her family adores her, but she’s had some problems… and that’s led her to do drugs and mix mostly with the wrong men, which unfortunately has had a pretty negative impact probably over the last five years.” of his life.” ‘ said Mrs Searing at the time.
“It’s usually someone who is held in high regard.”
Similarly, Ms Mason had dozens of interactions with the Queensland justice system, dating back to 2016.
She was also involved in a stabbing that nearly claimed her life years before she was shot.
Ms Anyos (pictured) previously faced several drug charges and a firearms charge following a road rage incident.
Mason, known to those close to her as CeeJay, also had run-ins with the law dating back to 2016.
Detectives had released the above photographs of the two Thomson brothers before their arrest and urged them to come forward.
“Now I’m in the (hospital) room,” he shared on social media in 2016.
“I still have nurses around me 24/7 checking on me (and) making sure everything is correct and nothing is out of place.”
‘I have two drains in my heart to drain all the blood that is leaking from the valve that was cut when the knife penetrated my heart 3cm deep.
“I am fighting this with the love and support of my family and friends.”
Brothers Codye Thomson, 29, and Kaine Thomson-Gleeson, 32, were arrested in Logan on Monday in connection with Mason’s death.
They were charged with her alleged murder and faced the Brisbane Committal Court on Tuesday morning, where Thomson-Gleeson’s lawyer Ken Mackenzie said his client will claim he acted in self-defence.
“What is not in dispute in this case is that Chloe Mason came to the front of Kaine’s house armed with a rifle,” Mackenzie said outside court.
‘Kaine explained to the police that he did not kill Chloe. What he did, he did to defend his home and family against an assassination attempt.
The brothers’ cases are due to appear at Caboolture Magistrates’ Court on January 13.
