A third teen has been charged with murdering 15-year-old Darweish Mohamed, who was found with stab wounds outside a hospital in Melbourne's northern suburbs on Wednesday night.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested last night and charged with his murder. He will face a children's court.

A staff member from Craigieburn Community Hospital on Lygon Drive found Darweish in the car park and delivered CPR, but he died at the scene.

Darweish lived in Mickleham and attended Mount Ridley P-12 College in Craigieburn.

His family and friends will remember him at a memorial today, while tributes for him have continued to grow outside the hospital.

A fundraiser for the slain teenager's family had raised more than $60,000.

Two other teenage boys, aged 15 and 16, were charged with Darweish's murder yesterday.

They remain in custody and will return to court for a committal hearing in November.

Police have also charged a 20-year-old man in relation with Darweish's death with fire damage and a 15-year-old girl is facing charges of motor vehicle theft and affray.
