Police were called to the scene of the Sofitel hotel on April 15 following reports shots were fired amid a gang conflict.
However, police are continuing to appeal for sightings of Hone Reihana, 27, also known as Hone Hawira - a patched Head Hunter gang member, Detective Inspector John Sutton said today in a statement.
He is considered dangerous and should not be approached by the public.
The 25-year-old woman, who was identified earlier this week as being with Reihana and assisting him in evading police, was located last night following a separate incident involving Reihana in Northland.
