A man has died following what police described as a drive-by shooting in Melbourne's southeast.

The Cranborne man, 30, was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle at Bride Avenue, Hampton Park at 12.30am on Saturday.

Investigators have been told a Ford Ranger Utility was seen driving away from the suburban street.

Two hours later, a burnt out vehicle was found at a reserve in Berwick.

Officers are yet to determine whether it's linked to the shooting, a police spokesperson said.

Detectives are at Hampton Park investigating the shooting and urged anyone with information to come forward.
