A teenager was enticed out of their home and killed in a violent surprise attack in Adelaide.

In a shocking and tragic turn of events, a 19-year-old young man lost his life in a brutal and carefully planned attack at his home in Adelaide's west. According to the police, the attack was premeditated and their investigation is currently underway.

The incident occurred late last night when the power to the victim's house on Carey Avenue in Seaton was deliberately cut off just before 10:20pm. This cunning act lured the young man, Scot Phillips, outside where he was immediately ambushed by at least one assailant.

In the front garden of his home, the attacker unleashed a vicious and ferocious assault on Scot, leaving him with multiple injuries. The police believe that this was a targeted attack with the intent to kill. The weapon used was a large knife, evident from the severity of Scot's wounds.

Superintendent Des Bray, who is leading the Major Crime Investigation, stated that the attacker was caught on CCTV and was last seen fleeing the scene on foot along Fiddock Avenue. However, the footage was not clear enough to identify the perpetrator.

Scot was attended to by several people who were present in the house during the attack, as well as paramedics, but unfortunately, he passed away at the scene. The police have confirmed that these witnesses are cooperating with their investigation.

It has been revealed that Scot had visited a local pub earlier that evening, but Superintendent Bray clarified that there is no evidence to suggest a connection between the pub and the attack. The police have also confirmed that Major Crime officers, crime scene investigators, and Western District detectives have been working tirelessly to gather evidence and information.

The Carey Avenue was temporarily closed for investigation, but it has now been reopened. The police urge anyone who was in the vicinity of Carey Avenue at the time of the incident, or anyone with dash-cam or CCTV footage from the area, to come forward and assist with the investigation.

This senseless act of violence has left a community in shock and mourning, as the police continue to search for the person responsible for taking the life of a young man with so much potential. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Scot's family and loved ones during this difficult time.
