Police and paramedics were called to Dunorlan Rd after at 9:30pm Sunday after a man was found slumped in the street.
The 41-year-old was rushed to Flinders Medical Centre in a critical condition but died soon after.
Detective Inspector Mark McEachern said the incident was being treated as a homicide.
“At the moment we haven’t located the firearm,” he told reporters on Monday.
“We don’t believe the attack is random. We suspect it is possibly someone known to the victim.
“Those inquires are underway in relation to associates and people who are known to the deceased.”
Detectives have seized a white Toyota Camry believed to be connected to the victim for forensic examination.
Officers are also doorknocking residents in the area.
