Two charged follow fatal shooting

Homicide Squad detectives have charged two men this evening following a fatal shooting in Melbourne’s CBD earlier this month.

With assistance from the Special Operations Group, four men were arrested in South Melbourne shortly at about 3.20pm on Wednesday, 17 September.

The quartet were interviewed by police and a 23-year-old Doveton man and a 22-year-old Clyde North man were subsequently charged with murder.

The pair will face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 18 September 2025.

A 23-year-old Keysborough man and a 22-year-old Pakenham man were both arrested and released without charge pending further enquiries.

Today’s arrests follow an incident in the Melbourne CBD about 3.40am on 7 September where a 26-year-old Seabrook man was shot.

He was conveyed to hospital with upper body injuries but died shortly after.

Police will allege the incident was targeted and that the parties involved were known to each other.
