A MAN has been charged with the murder of a teenage boy who died in a hit-and-run outside a wild house party near Brisbane.
Police say between 100 and 150 people were at the party in Station Road, Woodridge when a brawl erupted and spilled on to the street.
Jordan Matehaere Tukaki, 17, was seriously injured in a hit-and-run during the fracas and later died in hospital.
A 21-year-old man has been charged with murder, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and callous disregard. He will appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday.
His car has been seized and is undergoing forensic testing.
Jordan's family released a statement on Sunday, saying he was just weeks away from celebrating his 18th birthday.
"Jordan had such a bright future and outgoing personality, loved music, was an awesome rapper, who would stop to help anyone in need," the statement read.
He is survived by his mother Tia, grandmother Jan and brothers and sisters.
Nearby resident Asmatullah Nasrullahi said he heard people swearing and yelling on the street before seeing a car speed away on Saturday night.
"I was a bit scared because I was at home by myself," he told AAP.
"I could just tell by the noise outside that something was going to happen."
Mr Nasrullahi said he was not surprised the incident occurred in his street.
"This is a low income area and the kids who live here don't have any chance for a good life," he said.
Detective Inspector Christopher Jory rejected witness accounts the brawl was either gang or racially motivated.
"There's nothing to suggest that from our investigations at all," he said.
Acting Superintendent Darren Harland says the party was gatecrashed after it was advertised on Facebook.
"(There is) the potential for uninvited people to arrive at your party and if you advertise on social media, this can be one of the consequences," Supt Harland told reporters in Logan on Sunday.
Police on Sunday were doorknocking residents in the street as they continued their investigations.
