Christchurch city leaders are in shock after a young man died following an assault in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The police have opened a homicide investigation, and believe they know who is responsible for assaulting the 18-year-old in the carpark of the Countdown supermarket on the corner of Moorhouse Ave and Madras Street.
He died in hospital yesterday.
