The men were both known to police but the victim is yet to be formally identified.

Officers were also hunting for a weapon, Wagga Wagga acting crime manager, Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Sheaf told reporters.

"Police are appealing to anybody who had dealings with the (37-year-old) man earlier in the night - particularly we believe two females who may have spent time with him earlier in the evening - to come forward and speak to police," he said.
