    The hunt continues for 45-year-old Desmond Bourne - who is wanted for murder -- after a fatal shooting in Wellsford, north of Auckland, on Saturday


    The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Zane Smith from Rodney.

    Police say he and Bourne were known to each other.

    Detective Inspector Scott Beard says Police are also looking for 21-year-old Serene Tilsley, who is associated with Bourne, and has a warrant to arrest.

    Police are appealing for sightings of a black 2005 Ford Falcon saloon, seen in Pakuranga on Sunday.
