Police Suspect AFL Star's Car Was Used in Drive-by Shooting

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, JUL 11 – Jamarra Ugle-Hagan was cleared after police ruled out his involvement in a drive-by shooting targeting a 71-year-old man, believed to be a case of mistaken identity, police said.

  • Police questioned AFL player Jamarra Ugle-Hagan in relation to a drive-by shooting involving a four-wheel drive in Melbourne on June 11, 2025.
  • The investigation began because police suspected the four-wheel drive used in the shooting belonged to Ugle-Hagan, though the Bulldogs stated he was not involved and had not possessed the vehicle for some time.
  • Ugle-Hagan fully cooperated with police and publicly revealed on a June 3 podcast that he had given his car to a friend because he did not trust himself to drive due to mental health struggles.
  • Douglas Lee, 71, whose car was struck by gunfire three times during the incident, described the event as "atrocious" and suggested that the shooting was probably a result of confusion regarding the target's identity.
  • Authorities have cleared Ugle-Hagan of any misconduct, and the Bulldogs remain committed to supporting him as he follows a care plan established with the club earlier this year while under contract through 2026.
