A house belonging to the ex-wife and daughter of the owner of the Melbourne club which was shot at last week has reportedly been targeted in another drive-by shooting this morning. 

As Herald Sun reports, shots were fired at the home in Beacon Vista, Port Melbourne just before 5am this morning, where Boutique owner Darren 'Razzle' Thornburgh's former partner Denise Foster and their 14-year-old daughter were lucky to come away unscathed. 

Police have confirmed they are investigating whether today's shooting is linked to the Prahran venue drive-by which resulted in damage to the front door, window, first floor window and the first floor window of a cafe next door.

"They’re shaken up, but importantly no injuries," Detective Sergeant David Barry said of the mother and daughter's conditions.

Near-by residents reportedly witnessed a black four-wheel drive vehicle leaving the scene. 

"I thought initially someone had knocked over some bins but it was followed by another bang two or three seconds later," neighbour Tim Humphries said.

"The thing that was very strange was a black Commodore heading south, driving very slowly with no lights on."
