Gisborne Police are appealing for more information in relation to the murder of Bill Maangi last month.
The father of four died after being shot on the early hours of 29 September.
"Mr Maangi was a family man and there are now four kids left without their dad," Detective Inspector Martin James said.
He said police are making good progress on the case, and are committed to finding out what happened to Maangi. Twenty staff are working on the case, and a number of items of interest have been seized and are being forensically examined.
"We know there were a number of people who were at and around the Forrester House/Ormond Road area through the night and early hours of Monday 29 September.
"Police are confident someone knows what happened to him. We're appealing to you now - please, speak up," James said.
Police are urging any witnesses to come forward.
"You don't want this weighing on you long-term.
"The person or people responsible for his death need to be held accountable, and our community will be safer for it."
