Waite was shot at commercial premises in Wilrose Pl on January 3 this year and died soon after in Tauranga Hospital.

Police alleged Williams was a party to the killing after the fact by assisting Colin Jeffries-Smith, who is the man accused of murdering Waite.

Williams is also charged with the unlawful possession of a .22 Ruger semi-automatic rifle.

The offences were alleged to have been committed between January 1 and 5.

Williams is yet to plea.

Judge Christopher Harding remanded Williams in custody to next appear in the High Court at Tauranga on November 7. Jeffries-Smith will also appear with him on the same date.
