A man has been shot dead in the Australian state of Melbourne on Friday, police said. \u201cA man was injured outside a property on Justin Avenue in Glenroy shortly after 4.30 a.m. local time. Paramedics tried to revive the victim but he was declared deceased at the scene,\u201d Victoria Police said in a statement, Xinhua news agency reported. A crime scene has been established and investigators are currently working to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, the police said.<\/p>\n
The authority is also appealing for witnesses to collect information. With a usual resident population of around 23,000, Glenroy is located about 12 km north of Melbourne\u2019s central business district. \u201cAt this stage, we haven\u2019t yet confirmed the identity of the deceased.

He told a press conference that the shooting occurred outside a strip of shops in a car park and the man was found lying next to a vehicle with fatal injuries. \u201cIt appears at this stage to be a targeted attack.
