Drive-by shooters who gunned down a former boxer as he left a bar almost hit an innocent pedestrian who was caught up in the chaos.
Officers were called to the inner-Melbourne suburb of Ascot Vale about 12.15am on Sunday after former boxer Hussein Dehaini was found with multiple gunshot wounds.
Dehaini, 33, who police believe had ties to serious and organised crime groups, was rushed to hospital in a critical condition but did not survive.
