Police are continuing to hunt for the killer of a road worker who was shot dead near Tokoroa yesterday.
The man was shot about 3.20pm on Tram Rd, in the Kinleith Forest area, which bridges the Waikato River.
It was understood the man was holding a stop-go sign at the time of the shooting.
Police hoped to release his name this morning.
A police spokeswoman said today police were not able to confirm some media reports that they were looking for a blue Jeep Cherokee in relation to the shooting.
Detective Inspector Mark Loper said last night it was too early in the investigation to speculate about a motive behind the killing.
Officers would be supporting the man's family, who hopefully could help catch the killer.

Police hunt man with 'disturbingly violent' history
Waikato police are searching for a man with a history of carrying firearms and knives who has breached his parole.
They warned Cameron Lee Ashby, 34, was dangerous and should not be approached.
Hamilton Sergeant Robert Isaac said Ashby had amassed a "disturbingly violent criminal history" since 2000.
He had been released on parole after being sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2005 but had breached his parole conditions.
"He also has a history of carrying firearms and/or knives and we urge anyone who recognises Ashby not to approach him but to ring 111 immediately."
Ashby was described as being Maori, of medium build and about 180cm tall. He had known connections in the Hamilton, Waihi, Paeroa and Karangahake Gorge areas.
Anyone with information his whereabouts was asked to contact Mr Isaac on 07 858 6200 or ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
