A third man has been charged with the murder of Damon O'Rourke in Palmerston North earlier this year.
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.
A murder charge was entered for a 35-year-old man yesterday.
He was due to reappear in the Palmerston North District Court on April 16.
A 19-year-old man and a 21-year-old man were already facing charges over the incident.
Detective Inspector Craig Sheridan said police would like to thank members of the public who provided information to assist in the investigation.
"Holding to account all responsible for Damon’s murder has been the focus for our investigative team, and we hope this brings some relief to his family."
