A man sought in connection with the ongoing Queen Street
homicide investigation in August will appear in court
today.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton,
Auckland City CIB, says the 24-year-old man previously
sought by Police handed himself in at Auckland Central
Police station this morning, following a shooting on the
evening of 3 August 2023.
“He is expected to appear
on murder and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily
harm charges in the Auckland District Court
today.”
Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says Police
thank the wider community for sharing our appeal as part of
this investigation.
“I would also like to highlight
the work of the Auckland City CIB who have been
investigating this matter for the past 15
weeks.”
The investigation into the incident remains
ongoing, and we cannot rule out further charges being
laid.
