Police are still investigating the sudden death of a woman in South Auckland.
Emergency services were called to the scene on Bari Lane in Māngere East about 4.20pm on Thursday.
A police car was parked outside the Kāinga Ora property on Friday morning as officers inside continued their investigations.
The property is part of a row of Kāinga Ora units on a small street. Signs outside Bari Lane say the small suburban lane only houses Kāinga Ora residents.
A police spokesperson said a post-mortem examination was carried out today and formal identification procedures are ongoing.
“At this point, we are still treating the woman’s death as unexplained, and we will continue to carry out some additional enquiries into the matter,” they said in a statement.
The scene examination should be finished by the end of the day.
Neighbours approached by the Herald were unsure what had happened.
“We just heard all the police cars yesterday,” one neighbour said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 105 and reference event number P059382398.
Counties Manukau Kāinga Ora regional director Angela Pearce said they would not be commenting when the police investigation is ongoing.
“Our thoughts are with the friends and whānau of the person who has died.”
But their lawyers say they didn't even know anyone was injured after the shooting.
