A further two men have been charged with murder over the fatal gang-linked shooting of Charles Pongi at an Auckland Reserve in August.
Police say the 32-year-old Head Hunters member was the victim of an "appalling display of violence" at Pt England's Taurima Reserve on August 5.
He soon died at Auckland Hospital after self-presenting with gunshot wounds, prompting a homicide investigation.
Detective inspector Glenn Baldwin said four raids had been carried out today and 14 in total over the past three days.
"A 20-year-old male from Avondale has been taken into custody and has since been charged with murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, assault, and threatening to do grievous bodily harm," Baldwin said.
"A 24-year-old man from Favona was also arrested and charged with murder in relation to this incident.
"A third man, a 25-year-old male from Ōtāhuhu, was located during a separate warrant and has been charged with assault."
All three men are due to appear in the Auckland District Court today.
Baldwin said police have now put five people before the courts over the violence, on Wednesday announcing firearms charges for a 26-year-old Weymouth man and a 24-year-old Mt Albert man, the latter also receiving a murder charge.
A 28-year-old man was also arrested on August 8 for breaching his electronically monitored bail in relation to the incident.
Pongi's funeral also saw a number of arrests made and vehicles seized.
"We still have a lot of work ahead of us as we review the further evidence gathered as a result of these search warrants," Baldwin said.
"The police investigation remains ongoing and further arrests and serious charges are likely."
Anyone with information is urged to call 105.

"There are people in the community that have direct knowledge of the individuals that are involved, and I urge them to do the right thing," Baldwin previously said.
"Contact the police and nominate suspects, albeit anonymously," Baldwin has said.
