Victoria Police arrested a 20-year-old from Kurunjang in Melton last night.

He was interviewed by police and subsequently charged with one count of murder.

He is due to face Melbourne Magistrates' Court today.

A 35-year-old man from Lidcombe in western Sydney was also arrested at Melbourne Airport on Monday.

He has since been interviewed by police and was yesterday charged with murder, as well as affray and assault related offences.

The man was remanded in custody to face Melbourne Magistrates' Court on September 4.

Earlier in the week, 9News understands police were investigating whether Carlson pulled out a gun on his attackers at the Love Machine nightclub before he was chased and stabbed.

It's understood Carlson had links to outlaw motorcycle gangs.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Detectives are appealing for anyone who was on Chapel Street at the time of the attack and may have witnessed the incident, or has any footage, to come forward.
