Police have confirmed they are searching for four people involved in the callous shooting of a liquor store owner on Saturday night.

Navtej Singh, aged 30, was shot at close range in his Manurewa store despite holding his hands in the air and complying with the robber's demands. He died in Middlemore Hospital this morning.

Detective Inspector Jim Gallagher said three people were in the store while another waited outside in a getaway car when one of the robbers shot Mr Singh in the chest.

The raid and the cold-blooded shooting were captured by the security camera at the Riverton Liquor shop in Riverton Drive.

The video images show three hooded men, one holding a gun, entering just after 9 o'clock.

As two of the robbers helped themselves to boxes of beer, the armed man pointed a low-calibre .22 firearm at Mr Singh and his colleague Gurwinder Singh, who were standing behind the counter.

The footage shows Gurwinder Singh walking around the side of the counter and holding his arms up in the air as if trying to reason with the armed man.
