Three arrested following fatal shooting of Melbourne plumber Hussein
A woman and two men have been arrested over the fatal shooting of 22-year-old plumber Daniel Hussein in Melbourne's north, three days after he was gunned down in front of friends at a sporting oval. The killing has shocked his family and community, coming as Mr Hussein was weeks away from his wedding and had recently bought his own home after completing his plumbing apprenticeship.
Mr Hussein was shot dead at HR Uren Reserve in Thomastown at around 7.30pm on Sunday, reportedly while helping a friend who was caught up in a dispute in the car park. Homicide detectives arrested two men, aged 19 and 20, from Donnybrook, and a 19-year-old woman from Lalor Park, in Deer Park on Wednesday evening; all three are being interviewed as the investigation continues. His brother, Ali Hussein, said the attack may have stemmed from a confrontation in Melbourne's CBD the night before, and described Daniel as a devoted, fitness-focused "sensible young man" who was deeply loved by friends and family.

Three arrests have been made in connection with the fatal shooting of Daniel Hussein, a 22-year-old plumber who was killed at a sports ground in Thomastown, in Melbourne's north, on a Sunday evening. He was reportedly shot while stepping in to help a friend who had become caught up in a dispute in a car park nearby.
Police say the attack may be linked to an earlier confrontation in Melbourne's city centre the night before. Homicide detectives have arrested two men, aged 19 and 20, and a 19-year-old woman, all from outer Melbourne suburbs, and are questioning them as part of the ongoing investigation.
The case has drawn wide attention because of the circumstances of Mr Hussein's death: he had just finished his plumbing apprenticeship, bought his first home, and was due to marry in the coming weeks. His family, including his brother Ali, have spoken publicly about the loss, and the shooting has raised concern in the local community about violence linked to disputes among young people in Melbourne.
