She was one of four people gunned down by two masked men after a boxing event at popular local nightspot, Fitzys.

What's next?

Queensland Police are appealing for community to help solve the crime, with the suspects on the run.

A Queensland teenager remains in a critical condition after being shot in the head and neck outside a Logan nightspot, while police continue to appeal for anybody with information to come forward.

Vana-Reese Schuster-Togiatau, 19, is fighting for her life after being shot in the neck and head by two masked men outside Fitzys Loganholme on Saturday night.

Ms Schuster-Togiatau, from Jimboomba, was wounded, along with three men, aged 27, 37 and 38, after the suspects fired at least six shots in the waiting zone of the popular pub south of Brisbane at the intermission of a boxing event. 

The hunt for the men, and at least one other, continues, with Queensland Police saying earlier that "elements of pre-planning that leads us to say it was not random".

Chief Superintendent Mel Adams yesterday refused to say if the incident was gang-related.

"I'm not going to comment on gang-related activity. We are exploring every line of inquiry, we don't discount anything," Chief Superintendent Adams said.

"We are satisfied in terms of these offenders not posing an immediate and secondary threat to the community."

She said all victims with the "capacity to" were cooperating with police.

Shots were fired from the passenger window of a silver Mitsubishi that pulled up at the drop-off zone at the intermission of the Logan City Titles at about 8pm.

The car was set alight on Maloney Road at Waterford West 20 minutes later.

Queensland Police are appealing for community to help solve the crime.

"This could have been your family member," she said.

"This was a random group of people, at the front of a popular hotel, who became victims, so if you know something, help us with this investigation."
