Alex Manuel has been charged with murder and is appearing in Melbourne Magistrates' Court today.
Ricky Thompson, 44, was killed after being stabbed on 18 June in a Chelsea Heights car park outside a licensed premise, following a verbal argument.
Police have been looking for Mr Manuel ever since and warned members of the public that they could be committing a serious offence by not disclosing his whereabouts.
Mr Manuel was found at a rural property in Toora, about two hours south of where the offence happened.
A male and a female, who were also at the property where Mr Manuel was arrested, are assisting investigators with inquiries.
