Lamarre-Condon was hit with fresh charges on July 18, police said in a statement on Tuesday.
Police allege the attack was premeditated after a months-long campaign of “predatory behaviour” targeting Mr Baird, whom he briefly dated.
A triple-zero call was made from Mr Davies’ mobile phone four minutes after neighbours heard gunshots at the Paddington house.
A patrol car was later sent to search for the source of the call, which was disconnected before anyone spoke.
However, officers were unable to locate the user and did not attend Mr Baird’s house at the time.
The couple’s bodies were not located until February 27, when they were found inside surfboard bags at the fence line of a rural property in Bungonia near Goulburn, about 200km southwest of Sydney.
The suspicion that they were dead was sparked after possessions belonging to the men were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla, leading police to Mr Baird’s blood-smeared share house.
Lamarre-Condon joined the NSW Police Force in 2019 and previously ran a celebrity blog, posing in photos with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.
He was sacked from the force in mid-March.
The matter will return to court on August 13.
