A man has been charged with murder after a 19-year-old died at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital on Saturday night.
Nineteen-year-old Misiona Talafu Petelo, of Papatoetoe, arrived at the hospital with critical injuries after a shooting incident about 8:30pm but later died. Police subsequently launched a homicide probe into his death.
"Earlier today a 31-year-old man was arrested after handing himself into police," a statement released on Monday afternoon said.
"He has been charged with murder and will be appearing in the Manukau District Court tomorrow."
Police said the investigation was ongoing but would not be commenting further as it was before the courts.
Officers were providing support to Petelo's whānau, police said.
