One of Melbourne’s most violent gangland figures, Gavin “Capable” Preston, has been shot dead in Melbourne’s north-west in a suspected gangland attack.

He was shot multiple times at a cafe in Keilor Village. “They put a clip into him,” one underworld source told The Sunday Age.

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said Saturday that a male in his 50s had been shot in Keilor Village and might have died.

Another male was shot in the stomach, Patton said.
