Hawke's Bay police are warning the associates of a person of interest being sought after the killing of Darcy Strickland.
Strickland, 29, and another person were found on Ramsey Cres, Flaxmere, about 11.45pm on Thursday, October 13, after reports of an assault.
A homicide investigation was launched after Strickland died at the scene.
The other person was taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital with serious injuries and was later discharged.
A 22-year-old-man appeared in the Hastings District Court this week charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
