Police have released the name of a man found dead after gunshots rang out north of Wellington on Thursday night.
He was 25-year-old Alonsio Iafeta Matalasi, known as Sio, who lived at a block of flats on Jackson St in Petone.
Mr Matalasi's family had asked police to reiterate that he did not have any gang affiliations.
An 18-year-old was arrested and appeared in court yesterday charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, burglary and dangerous use of a motor vehicle.
A 43-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious knife wounds after the incident but police spokesman Nick Bohm said he had since been released and charged.
