Emergency services were called on Saturday night to a house in Bentleigh East, in Melbourne's southeast, where a man was found with critical injuries.
Police say a physical altercation took place between two males and a female.
One of the males, who is yet to be formally identified, died at the scene.
The female was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Detectives have charged a 20-year-old Bentleigh East man with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder.
Police are still investigating the circumstances but believe all three knew each other.
The 20-year-old man is due to appear before Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Sunday.
