The person who was critically injured after being struck by a car on Ghuznee Street, in the Wellington CBD on Monday night has died.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rachael Boyd repeated her call for the driver of the vehicle to come forward.
It would help police understand the circumstances that have led to the tragedy, she said.
"Our thoughts are with their [the victim's] family and loved ones," Boyd said.
On Wednesday police said Terrace Tunnel was closed that night, so all traffic was diverted onto Ghuznee Street.
The pedestrian had been on the road so the driver might not been aware they had struck a person.
Police still want to hear from anyone who was travelling on or near Ghuznee Street around 10.50pm, including any dashcam or CCTV footage people have from the area at that time.
Anyone with information can contact police on 105, or use the website, clicking on 'update report'.
The reference number is 240617/0598.
