A YOUNG man has died on a footpath outside an apartment block in Sydney's southwest after being shot.

Police and ambulance paramedics responded to reports of a shooting at Equity Place in Canley Vale at about 2.45am (AEDT) on Sunday to find a man aged in his 20s on a footpath suffering gunshot wounds.

Despite the efforts of paramedics, the man died at the scene.

Police say the man was known to them and the shooting was not believed to be random.

Riot squad officers were called to the scene in the early hours of Sunday after a group of young men who knew the victim clashed with police in heated exchanges.

One man shouted he wanted to see his brother before being restrained and pulled away by a friend.

A distraught young woman, believed to the girlfriend of the deceased, was also at the scene early on Sunday.

Police cordoned off the street and erected an awning as forensic officers examined the scene and local residents were questioned.

Jennifer Nguyen, 33, who lives at the apartment block where the man died, told AAP she heard nothing overnight but thought there might have been a party on Saturday night.

"I woke up about 4am when police knocked on my door," Ms Nguyen said.

"Oh my God, I was shocked."

Ms Nguyen said the street was normally very quiet.

Meanwhile, police are investigating an incident at Hinchinbrook, also in Sydney's southwest, after a man driving a car escaped injury when the rear passenger windows sustained suspected gunshot damage.

"A 32-year-old man, who had been driving the car at the time of the incident, was not injured," police said.

Police were called to the incident at South Liverpool Road at about 2.25am on Sunday and have seized a black Holden Barina for forensic examination.

A police spokeswoman said it was not known at this stage if the two shootings are linked.
