A man has been shot dead in Melbourne's inner north, the latest in a string of shootings in the city.
The man was killed after an altercation near Brunswick Street in Fitzroy about 4pm on Tuesday.
Police said emergency service were called after passers-by found the man in the street with life-threatening injuries.
Investigators believe he was involved in an altercation with a number of people at a vehicle parked on Brunswick Street before he was shot.
Paramedics treated the man but he died at the scene.
Detectives said the parties might have been known to each other and it was possible the attack was targeted.
Superintendent Paul O'Halloran said Victoria Police were still hunting for the alleged shooter.
"It appears as though the man left the commission flats in Brunswick and walked towards a dark-coloured Audi sedan," he said.
"We believe two people were in that vehicle and it would appear that the deceased male appears to have known the occupants of the vehicle.
"The male then left the vehicle and was shot as he alighted from the vehicle. At this stage, we don't know where that vehicle is."
Supt O'Halloran added that police did not have the vehicle's registration number and officers were urging any witnesses to come forward.
There are no apparent links to organised crime.
The latest incident follows a spate of shootings across Melbourne in recent weeks, including a man being fatally shot at a house in Noble Park on Monday.
Former Mongols bikie Suleiman "Sam" Abdulrahim was gunned down in Fawkner on June 25 as he drove his luxury car in a funeral procession.
The following week a man armed with a screwdriver was shot by police in Coburg North and a house in Epping was targeted as part of a drive-by shooting.
Victoria Police launched a task force last week to crack down on gang-related violence and organised crime.
