A teenager who was fatally shot in Melbourne's north has been remembered by the football club that embraced the "passionate sportsman" after he arrived from Afghanistan.
Paramedics worked to save Rahat Khan as he lay dying on a Dallas street on Tuesday about 5.30pm.
His friend had driven him to the spot from where he was shot in search of help, but he was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
The 19-year-old's death has rocked the North Dandenong Football Club, which is in shock that something so terrible could happen to the "quiet", "friendly" and "sometimes cheeky" boy they knew.
"Everyone is upset," football club member Colin Riddiford said.
"We'll never really know as to why it happened."
Mr Riddiford first met Rahat when he and his elder brother wandered into the carpark of the club about eight years ago.
The boys, who had recently arrived from Afghanistan, told Mr Riddiford they wanted to play sport, so he got them started in cricket and football.
"[Rahat] was very well regarded," Mr Riddiford said.
"He was very respectful to me. He liked to have a chat. He was an Afghan kid that went the Aussie way."
Harley Huggins-Thompson was a good friend and teammate of Rahat's and won a premiership in 2010.
"He was always helping the younger kids out," he said.
"Everyone would look up to him when he was around."
Another club member, Craig Mulcock, described Rahat as happy and polite; a "real family kid" and a "gun footballer and cricketer".
"I'm shocked to hear of his passing and the area he was in," he said.
A Victoria Police spokesman said the investigation into the shooting was ongoing.
Rahat's funeral was on Friday.
