Police say there's no indication a deadly shooting on Auckland's Ponsonby Road last night is gang related.
A man who was part of a group was killed after getting out of a car, shot by a man who'd reportedly been denied entry to a bar.
He's described as dangerous, and is of a large build, with dark hair, a beard and moustache - and a large tattoo on his left forearm.
Detective Inspector Chris Barry says it's difficult to explain the suspect's motivation behind the shooting.
"At this stage, our priority is on locating this person - we believe he is dangerous, obviously he carried out this attack and our concern is to get him into custody."
