A jury has been unable to decide the guilt of a man accused of fatally shooting a 24-year-old in broad daylight outside a Melbourne shopping centre.

George Marrogi, 29, is charged with murdering Kadir Ors near a bus shelter outside Campbellfield Plaza on September 26, 2016.

The Supreme Court jury was discharged on Monday, unable to reach a unanimous decision after a week of deliberation.

Mr Ors died after he was shot in the back, leg, hip and buttocks by a gunman who got out of a Holden Commodore near the bus shelter.

Prosecutors relied on circumstantial evidence to prove Marrogi was the gunman, including a DNA match to Marrogi on a small piece of cardboard from an ammunition packet found in a car abandoned in a nearby suburb.

They also claimed a hoodie worn by the shooter was purchased the same day, and a receipt for a similar item of clothing was found at Marrogi's home.

But prosecutors were unable to identify a motive.
