A 21-year-old will face court after a man was found with a gunshot wound in a car, in a suspected drive-by shooting in suburban Melbourne.

A Melbourne man has been charged over a deadly drive-by shooting following a two-month police hunt.

Homicide squad detectives charged the 21-year-old from Cranbourne North with murder on Friday over the death of a man in Melbourne's southeast on April 27.

A 30-year-old Cranbourne man was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle at Hampton Park. He

died at the scene.

A ute was seen driving away from the suburban street after the shooting, before a burnt-out vehicle was found at a reserve in Berwick hours later.

Police have also charged the alleged shooter with conduct endangering life, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit kidnap over separate incidents.

He is expected to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday.
