A man has been charged with murder after a courier driver was shot dead in his vehicle in east Auckland in 2024.
Police were called around 6.45am on August 19, 2024, following reports of several gunshots heard on Marvon Downs Ave in Pakuranga Heights.
Tuipulotu Vi, 59, was found in a vehicle with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers said police had charged a 35-year-old Waiuku man with murder.
"This is the second man to appear in court over Mr Vi’s death and we cannot rule out further arrests being made in this investigation."
A 23-year-old man had been charged with being a party to Vi's murder in September last year.
