Homicide detectives are delving into the tragic shooting incident that occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Greenvale, a suburb located in Melbourne’s north-west. The victim, a man, was discovered lifeless outside a residence on Buchanan Place shortly after 4:30 am. Despite efforts by paramedics to resuscitate him, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

According to Detective Senior Sergeant Danny Travaglini, the victim was shot while he was preparing to leave his home for work. The unsettling details indicate that as he walked out of his garage, he was confronted by assailants in his driveway.

While the deceased individual is known to the police, his identity has not yet been officially confirmed. Authorities are meticulously exploring any potential connections the victim may have had to organized crime, although they have refrained from explicitly stating such ties. Detective Senior Sergeant Travaglini emphasized that this avenue is being thoroughly investigated.

Despite the absence of concrete evidence pointing towards retaliation at this juncture, authorities are keenly aware of the potential ramifications if the incident is indeed linked to organized crime. The specter of retaliatory actions looms ominously, heightening concerns about public safety.

In the wake of this tragic event, no suspects have been apprehended, leaving the investigation ongoing and the community on edge. Detective Senior Sergeant Travaglini reiterated the imperative of quelling such acts of violence, particularly those that transpire in public spaces.
