Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Kepal Richards said police had now identified a silver 2007 Mitsubishi Galant used the night of Mr Tulua's death.

The vehicle has distinctive damage to the left rear side of the bumper.

The police said they knew the occupants were involved in a number of serious crimes that evening, including the fatal shooting.

They asked anyone who saw the vehicle that evening to get in touch.
