Two men have been charged with murder after Palmerston North man Damon O'Rourke's death in January.
Emergency services were called to a Coromandel Court address at about 7.30pm on Saturday, January 20 to reports of a shooting. O'Rourke, 35, was taken to hospital and died of his injuries a short time later.
Now, a 19-year-old man and a 21-year-old man face charges over the incident.
The 19-year-old appeared in Whangārei District Court yesterday charged with murder, and is scheduled to reappear in Palmerston North High Court on 12 April.
The 21-year-old will appear in Palmerston North District Court today charged with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm.
"As the matter is before the Court, no further information is available, however I would like to acknowledge Damon's family," said Detective Inspector Craig Sheridan.
"This has been an incredibly difficult time for them and I know they will be relieved and grateful that those responsible for Damon's death have been located and are being held to account."
