A man has died after a drive-by shooting left ‘two brothers’ lying in a pool of blood at a Melbourne tyre store.
Two men were rushed to Royal Melbourne Hospital in serious conditions after the shooting just before 4pm on Friday.
One of the men died hours later after battling injuries to his upper and lower body.
The second man 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.

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.
Police believe there may have been multiple offenders who fired shots into the store
