Aucklanders can expect to see a large police presence as the alleged Ponsonby shooter's body is moved across the city ahead of his funeral.

Hone Kay-Selwyn, 31, was found dead near Taupō after a manhunt was launched by police.

The death was "not suspicious" and was being referred to the coroner, police confirmed on Thursday. 

Killer Beez gang member Kay-Selwyn was accused of shooting 33-year-old Robert Sidney Horne dead on Ponsonby Rd in Auckland last weekend.

Kay-Selwyn’s body is expected to be moved from the Massey area to Ōtara ahead of funeral proceedings on Monday. 

"As part of this we are monitoring the movement of gang members in parts of the city," police said in a statement. 

Police said resources would be deployed across the route and there will be support provided by the Police Air Support Unit. 

"High visibility and reassurance patrolling will also be conducted around the wider Massey and Ōtara areas today." 

"We have set very clear expectations on the standard of behaviour that is acceptable." 

Motorists are being asked to report any concerning activity to police.

"If the incident is happening now, please contact 111. 

"Any other matters can also be reported by calling 105 or making a report online by going to https://www.police.govt.nz/use-105."
