A police spokesperson said officers were called to the Croydon Ave address in Highbury about 2.35pm on Sunday after a report of a firearm being discharged.
A man has died after a firearms incident in Palmerston North today.
A homicide investigation has now been launched and enquiries are ongoing to find the shooter.
The Herald understands the incident is gang-related.
Police said they were called to the Croydon Rd address about 2.35pm after a report of a gun being fired.
One person was found with critical injuries and died at the scene a short time later, police said.
“Our message to Dariush would be to hand himself in, or for anyone who sees him to call us immediately,” he said.
Anyone who sees Talagi or knows of his whereabouts should call police on 111 and quote file number 230804/3339, Bolton said.
The incident came just two weeks after and barely two blocks away from where 24-year-old Matu Reid opened fire at a construction site in Auckland’s CBD, killing two men and injuring numerous others, including a police officer.
The 24-year-old was on home detention for domestic violence charges when he entered the high-rise construction site at 7.22am on July 20, armed with a pump-action shotgun.
He worked his way through the building, shooting Solomona To’ot’oo and Tupuga Sipiliana dead.
Reid exchanged gunfire with police before they found him dead in a lift shaft from self-inflicted injuries.
That incident shut down the Auckland CBD area around Britomart for much of the day. There is no suggestion the two incidents are related.
Another homicide investigation was launched last night after a man with gunshot wounds took himself to Auckland Hospital yesterday afternoon but later died.
Police were called to Taurima Reserve in Pt England about 2.40pm on Saturday following several reports of disorder and sounds of gunshots.
Police said they believe those involved are known to each other.
“We would like to reassure people that this was an isolated incident, with no ongoing risk believed to be posed to the wider public,” they said in a statement.
“The Point England community will notice a greater police presence while investigations continue.”
“Police would like to hear from anyone who was in the immediate area at the time. You can call us via 105. Please reference job number P05557214.”
Armed police were guarding Middlemore Hospital overnight after another person showed up with a gunshot wound. Police are today investigating whether it’s linked to the homicide in Point England.
