Detectives from the Homicide Squad have charged a second person as part of their investigation into the 2023 fatal shooting of Mohammed Keshtiar in South Yarra.
A 25-year-old Hampton Park man was interviewed today and subsequently charged with murder and conduct endangering life.
The man, who is currently in custody on unrelated matters, will face Melbourne Magistrates' Court tomorrow (16 April).
Earlier this month a 23-year-old Narre Warren man was arrested as part of the ongoing investigation.
He was also charged with murder and conduct endangering life.
The man was remanded in custody to face Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 8 August.
The charges follow the death of Keshtiar in South Yarra almost two years ago.
The 53-year-old was walking along Almeida Crescent with a male associate on 4 August, 2023 when he was shot a number of times.
His associate was not physically injured during the incident and managed to flee the scene to safety.
In September 2024, police announced a $1M reward for information in relation to the fatal shooting and that reward remains on offer.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Police urge anyone with information about the incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
