Five young men have been granted bail after being charged over the fatal shooting of a man following an alleged dispute over DJ equipment advertised on Gumtree.

Duane Hutchings died from a gunshot wound to the head on February 9 after six men allegedly stormed into an Oakleigh East unit to confront a woman about the equipment, which the men believed wasn't returned after it was hired out.



Mr Hutchings' family is furious at the men's release, saying "an innocent man has being killed".

Brothers George and John Panagiotou and their friend, Jonathon Atalalis, provided the equipment from their business Love It Loud, Melbourne Magistrates Court has heard, and later reported the gear stolen.
