Two more men have been arrested over the drive-by shooting death of 16-year-old Ater Good in Melbourne’s inner-north earlier this month.

Shortly after midnight on January 3, a person named Good was shot near the crossroads of Brunswick and King William Streets.

In connection with the incident, police apprehended a 20-year-old man from Heidelberg in Thomastown around 11 a.m. today. During the operation, authorities confiscated two shotguns from a residence.

In addition, law enforcement conducted searches at three properties in Heidelberg and two in Heidelberg West.

This morning, a 31-year-old man, also from Heidelberg, was taken into custody.

Both men are scheduled to be interviewed by investigators as part of the ongoing investigation.

Three men were charged with murder earlier this month over the alleged drive-by shooting.

Other individuals involved in the investigation include a 19-year-old from Heidelberg West, a 20-year-old from Bundoora, and a 21-year-old from Heidelberg, who was detained at Melbourne Airport.

All three men have been remanded to appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on June 15.

Police are continuing to investigate whether there are any links between the Fitzroy shooting and the New Year’s Eve stabbing of two men on Lygon Street in Carlton.

Two men were critically injured after a group of about seven men armed with machetes and knives attacked them outside a restaurant about 11.45pm.

A 20-year-old Heidelberg West man and an 18-year-old NSW man were seriously injured and taken to hospital.

A 21-year-old Fitzroy man, a 21-year-old Richmond man and a 17-year-old boy from the Melbourne area have been charged with multiple offences including violent disorder and affray.

Detectives, regional police and special units have established Operation Firelong to investigate the two alleged crimes and prevent ongoing violence.

The investigations remain ongoing.
