Police are searching for a light coloured van in relation to a Christchurch homicide investigation.
The investigation was launched following the death of 39-year-old Tyrone Munns, who was found critically injured at a social housing complex on Innes Road in the suburb Mairehau on 9 March. Despite medical treatment, he died at the scene.
Detective Senior Sergeant Damon Wells said police are now seeking sightings of a "light coloured people mover" in the area at the time.
The vehicle was also spotted on Innes Road, between Philpotts Road and BP Mairehau on 9 March, between 9.15pm and 9.45pm, and appears to have different-coloured front and rear wheels.
"If you saw this vehicle on Innes Road on the night of 9 March, please let us let us know," Wells said.
Police also like to hear from any motorists who have dashcam and travelled along Innes Road that night.
"We are continuing to follow a number of lines of enquiry to find the person or people responsible for Mr Munn's death, and we urge anyone who can help to get in touch with us," Wells said.
