Police Seek Help Identifying Car Believed To Be Linked To Melbourne Club Shooting

The investigation continues.

Police continue to investigate a fatal shooting incident that took place at a Melbourne nightclub in April. 

It is believed six shots were fired at the nightclub, Love Machine, in a drive-by shooting on 14 April at approximately 3.20am. A stolen Porsche fled the scene and was later found burnt on the outer fringes on the city. 

Both security guard Aaron Khalid Osmani, 27, and nightclub patron Richard Arow, 28, died in hospital from their injuries. Four other patrons sustained injuries.

According to ABC, police have now released CCTV footage of an additional vehicle they believe may be connected to the incident. 

A press release states, "Detectives conducted a significant canvas of the area for CCTV footage and have located vision of a maroon Ford utility leaving the vicinity immediately after the arson of the Porsche used in the shooting."

Detectives believe it may be related to their enquiries.

ABC report the shooting was a targeted attack, possibly carried out by an outlaw motorcycle gang.
