Victorian Coroner Audrey Jamieson is appealing for a witness to assist the coronial investigation into a fatal 2013 police shooting.

Vlado Micetic, 44, had been pulled over for driving with stolen number plates when he was shot by a member of Victoria Police in Union Street, Windsor at approximately 10:43pm on Sunday 25 August 2013.
