Homicide Squad detectives have today charged a fourth South-East man following the fatal shooting of Mitat Rasimi in Dandenong in 2019.

In November 2019, police charged a 27-year-old Hampton Park man with murder while a 29-year-old Endeavour Hills man was charged with murder in February 2020.

The trio were remanded and remain in custody.

Mitat Rasimi had been driving a car at the time of his murder and the 51-year-old was found by police, unresponsive and with a number of gunshot wounds, crashed into a pole in Dawn Avenue on 3 March, 2019.

The investigation remains ongoing and detectives continue to appeal to anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
