A man is appearing in court this morning charged with the murder of Wellsford man Zane Smith.
The 37-year-old was fatally shot in his car in Wellsford, north of Auckland, on Saturday.
Police said a 45-year-old man was located yesterday in connection with the homicide.
He was expected to appear in the North Shore District Court this morning.
Police were today appealing for sightings of a car and a rifle used in the shooting.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard called for the public to report any sightings of a black 2005 Ford Falcon saloon registration CTS862 linked to the incident.
The car was seen in Pakuranga on Sunday.

Beard thanked the community for their help and the public sightings that were reported of the alleged offender.
