A homicide investigation has been launched after the death of a man after an incident in Auckland’s Ōtāhuhu last night.
Emergency services were called to a property on Beatty St at about 8.30pm on Sunday following a report of a person being seriously injured.
Detective Inspector Karen Bright said police found a man in a critical condition on arrival.
Hato Hone St John said it responded with one ambulance, one raid response vehicle, and one manager.
“One patient was assessed at the scene and transported to Middlemore Hospital in a critical condition.”
Police confirmed the man died of his injuries overnight.
“Police are continuing to gather information from the scene and enquiries into the exact circumstances surrounding what happened remain ongoing,” Bright said, adding that police were looking to locate a “person of interest”.
“Those involved are believed to be known to each other and we do not believe there is any ongoing risk to the wider community.”

“Our teams are working hard to identify and locate the person responsible and are asking anyone who saw what happened, who has not yet spoken to us, to please get in touch.”
Anyone with relevant information should contact police on 105.
