Eight men have been shot dead in Melbourne in as many weeks, with the killer of the latest slaying still on the run.
A 41-year-old Carnegie man found by two members of the public at an inner-city park on Friday night is the latest victim in what police believe was a targeted attack.
Police on Sunday confirmed two firearms were found at Fawkner Park, South Yarra, following the death but would not confirm if they were connected to the shooting or if they were found by children, as has been reported.
“There’s no evidence to suggest it was a random shooting,” Senior Sergeant Andrew Brady told reporters on Saturday.
“We want to reassure the public that Victoria Police is working towards successfully resolving this investigation.” Police have not confirmed whether they had identified any suspects and could not say what type of gun was used.
As of Sunday morning no arrests have been made.
It is the latest in a deadly eight weeks on Melbourne’s streets. Eight men have died in six shootings since March 1 and charges have been laid for only three of the attacks.
