On Friday, police arrested two Narre Warren men, 25 and 24, a Narre Warren South man, 24, and a 28-year-old from Narre Warren North.

Police believe the deaths on December 2 occurred after a man and a woman had attended the Parson Street address and became involved in an altercation with the home’s residents.

Reports of an altercation led emergency services to attend the scene at 4am, where they provided medical treatment to two people with gunshot wounds. Both the Rye man and the Mornington woman died at the scene.

At the time of the shooting, police said a second man was believed to have fled the address before police arrived, sparking a manhunt.

Police believe the parties involved were known to each other.

The investigation is ongoing with police urging anyone with information relating to the shooting to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential report online.
