The public are urged to keep an eye out for 37-year-old, Kael Leona .
Police say it appears the victim and suspect - did NOT know each other.
Our newsroom understands Leona was sentenced in May for threatening behaviour.
He received one year and seven months in prison - but was released later this year on parole.
Court documents also reveal he was due in court today, for obstructing and resisting a police officer.
Acting Detective Inspector, Alisse Robertson says they believe he's still in the Onehunga - Mount Wellington area.
She says he's known to Police and they're seeing if his previous history contributed to what's happened.
