The second man – a 36-year-old from St Albans – is in a serious but stable condition in hospital and is suffering from being shot in the lower body.
Both were reportedly found lying in pools of blood in the driveway of Westwood Wheels and Tyres at Ravenhall, in Melbourne’s far west.
Police arrested a man over the shootings, less than two hours after the incident.
He will appear in court on Saturday.
A witness from another store in the industrial precinct told Daily Mail Australia there were up to five ‘loud bangs’, before he looked out to see both men on the ground.
‘I’m next door and I heard four or five gun shots, then I ran outside and heard the guy screaming and saying: “I’ve been shot, call an ambulance”,’ Russell McAninly said.
‘He said to me: “How’s my brother?” And I looked over and he didn’t look like he was in a very good state.
‘They looked like customers and someone just followed, them into the store – they didn’t work there.’

Police said the offender fled the scene in a white vehicle and a manhunt was briefly underway.
Images from the scene show clothes scattered over the driveway, at the entrance to the store near where the wounded man was found lying.
Dozens of police officers closed off the crime scene and an investigation is underway.
