A Collingwood man was charged on Wednesday, February 14 following an aggravated home invasion in Donnybrook last month.
Detectives from the Armed Crime Squad arrested the 23-year-old man Wednesday afternoon at Barkly Square in Brunswick.
He has since been charged with aggravated home invasion, aggravated burglary, assault with a weapon, reckless conduct endangering life, possessing methylamphetamine, possessing a drug of dependence, handling stolen goods and driving while disqualified.
He appeared at Melbourne Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, February 15 and was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrate’s Court at a later date.
No application for bail was made.
The charges follow an incident where a number of men gained access to a property on Middlemount Street at about 4.20am on January 7.
It is believed an altercation between the group of men and the couple ensued, leading to shots being fired.
A short time later, officers were called to the address for reports of an injured man outside the property.
Emergency services performed CPR on the man, however he died at the scene.
Police believed the deceased man was one of the armed offenders who attended the property.
His death is being investigated by the Homicide Squad.
It is believed one of the residents home at the time, a 27-year-old Donnybrook woman, fled to an address in Doreen, before being taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The other resident, a 28-year-old man, was not physically injured during the incident.
Police believe the incident was targeted and the Homicide Squad investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV, dashcam footage or any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
