Smith was found dead in a vehicle on Wayby Station Road after receiving a gunshot wound Saturday night. The two men knew each other.
Police are also seeking to locate Bourne’s associate, Serene Tilsley, 21, who has an arrest warrant in connection with the matter.

Investigators are also requesting sightings of a black 2005 Ford Falcon saloon, registration CTS862, that was seen in Pakuranga on the morning of Sunday, Nov. 29, Beard said.
This week, police have followed up on a number of reports of possible sightings, with inquiries made in multiple directions throughout the Auckland region.
