The pair have now both been charged with murder and intentionally causing serious injury.

Police will allege the parties are known to eachother.

Morgan is being remembered as a proud Indigenous man with a passion for traditional dance and a loving friend who would light up a room.

The 20-year-old is expected to make a full recovery.

Investigators allege the attack was targeted and are asking anyone with dashcam or CCTV video or information to come forward.

The incident unfolded just hours after 15-year-old Dau Akueng was buried after he was allegedly killed in an unrelated machete attack in Cobblebank.

It has raised questions about the state government's response to crime rates.

"These things are happening every day, what's the government doing about this?" opposition police spokesman David Southwick said.

"Victorians should be able to feel safe."
