Omar Omar, 21, was arrested at Melbourne Airport earlier in the morning and was charged with one count of murder after being interviewed by investigators.

Omar, from Heidelberg in Melbourne's northwest, appeared before the Melbourne Magistrate's Court on Monday.

Two men, a 19-year-old from Heidelberg West and a 20-year-old from Bundoora, were each charged with one count of murder on January 11.

Those charges relate to the same alleged shooting and were first announced by police on Monday, along with the latest charge.

The earlier charges were not previously announced to preserve ongoing investigations into the third alleged murderer, police said.

Police are working to establish whether the shooting is linked to the alleged stabbing of two men in Carlton on December 31.

The 19-year-old and 20-year-old men have been remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrate's Court on June 15.
