A car owned by Western Bulldogs star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been linked to a drive-by shooting in Glen Iris last month.
It’s understood police have ruled out the troubled footballer as a suspect in the matter but a four-wheel drive registered to Ugle-Hagan was used in the shooting on Gardiner Place on June 11.
The victim, Doug Lee, was driving on Gardiner Parade around 10.10pm when he heard a gunshot, believed to be from a vehicle parked nearby.
Police were told the vehicle drove away, narrowly missing colliding with his car.
The 70-year-old Glen Iris man then heard more gunshots and located a bullet hole in his vehicle.
Police said the incident was a case of mistaken identity.
At the time Mr Lee labelled the ordeal “bizarre”.
The Western Bulldogs said in a statement it was “aware of a police incident involving a vehicle registered to Jamarra Ugle-Hagan”.
“The club is satisfied that Jamarra was not involved in the incident and that he had not been in possession of the vehicle for some time before it occurred,” it told the Herald Sun.
“Jamarra has fully co-operated with the subsequent police investigation. The club is continuing to support Jamarra as he works through the management plan that was developed with him earlier this year.”
The news comes two weeks after Ugle-Hagan took to Instagram airing frustrations that another of his cars had been stolen in Port Melbourne.
