Emergency services attended to Kingi immediately at the scene and he was taken to Waikato Hospital by ambulance in a critical condition, however, he died shortly after midnight.

Detective Inspector Graham Pitkethley, district manager of criminal investigations, said a 12-year-old will also be referred to Youth Aid for unlawful interference with a motor vehicle, while the inquiry continues to establish what has occurred.

"There has been a party in the area with a number of youth attending, and we are seeking anyone to come forward that may have been in the vicinity at the time."

Tributes have started pouring in for Kingi on social media.

"An awesome man taken far far to early RIP Norm, light up the skies with your electrical personality," one person said.
