Police have charged a second man with murder after a shooting in the Auckland suburb of Māngere two weeks ago. 

Misiona Talafu Peleto, aged 19, was critically injuried on October 16 following a shooting on Massey Road, outside the Oakwood Manor Motor Lodge. 

He was rushed to Middlemore Hospital in a private vehicle where he later died of his injuries. 

Police have now charged a 31-year-old man jointly with murder and is expected to appear in the Manukau District Court on Thursday. 

Earlier this month, another 31-year-old man was also charged with murdering Peleto after handing himself over to police. 

No one else is being sought by police in relation to the shooting.
