Police are seeking to identify this man.

Palmerston North police have released a photo of a man they want to speak to as part of the investigation into an alleged shooting in March.

It comes after 13 alleged Mongrel Mob members were charged with unlawful assembly, unlawful possession of firearms, and discharging a firearm in relation to the incident.

"Police are seeking to identify this man following an incident on Highbury Avenue where a firearm was discharged on Wednesday 15 March earlier this year," a spokesperson said.

"We believe he can assist with our investigation into the matter."

Earlier this year, Detective Sergeant Dave Wilson alleged a firearm was discharged "during an altercation".

"This was an incredibly reckless act in a public area and it is important that those responsible for it are held to account," he said in March.

Anyone who can identify this man has been urged to contact police through 105 by quoting file number 230315/4699.
