Two men wounded in the shooting incident that killed gangland figure Nabil Maghnie have been unwilling to help investigators.
No charges have been laid over the murder of Maghnie, almost four months after he was gunned down and the others injured in front of witnesses in Epping.
Maghnie’s son Abbas and an associate of the pair were shot by the same gunman in a brutal confrontation on January 9.
Nabil Maghnie died at the scene after being shot in the head.
It is believed Maghnie was beating a man at the property over a “debt” shortly before a shooter opened fire.
He demanded $50,000 after a man connected to the address had earlier been involved in a road rage encounter with his daughter Sabrine.
Abbas and the other man were shot in the street by the same man who moments earlier opened fire on Nabil.
But the Herald Sun understands neither man has been prepared to help homicide squad detectives.
Witnesses said at the time that the man who shot the trio seemed unconcerned about being identified, firing at Abbas and the other man until he ran out of bullets before calmly walking away.
A suspect in the investigation is believed to have left for overseas in the period after the fatal confrontation on January 9.
Maghnie, of Bundoora, is said to have been enraged at the incident involving Sabrine.
She was allegedly assaulted after a minor car accident somewhere in the northern suburbs.
At the time of his death, Nabil Maghnie was a suspect in a number of high-profile homicides.
He had been under investigation by detectives from the Sector taskforce, which examined the murder of crime figure Mitat Rasimi at Dandenong in March last year and the drive-by-double fatal shooting a month later at the Love Machine nightclub which claimed the lives of security guard Aaron Osmani and patron Richard Arow.
Charges have been laid over both crimes.
