UPDATE: Residents in a quiet Sunshine North street have been shocked by the death of three women on Friday.
Police have charged a Sunshine North man over the death of a woman in Meadowbank Drive.
Nelson Lai, 34, appeared in an out-of-sessions court hearing where he was charged with murder.
Mr Lai was remanded to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday.
Meadowbank Drive resident Peter, who lives a few houses away, said he had seen the man and woman together on several occasions.
Residents living close to the house said they were shocked by the shooting. They said they had heard no gun shots.
In an unrelated incident, the bodies of two other women were found in another house in the same street on the same day.
Police said the deaths of the two women, aged 84 and 47, were not suspicious.
