THE teenager who died after being struck in a hit-and-run at a birthday party brawl at Woodridge has been identified as Jordan Matehaere Tukaki.
Police were called after Mr Tukaki, 17, was hit by a car in Station Road, Woodridge shortly after 10.30pm (AEST) on Saturday. The teenager was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital with serious injuries, where he later died.
In a statement released via police on Sunday afternoon, his family described the 17-year-old as a "vibrant" and "outgoing" man who was looking forward to celebrating his 18th birthday on December 22.
They said Jordan will now "celebrate his birthday with his dad (Trevor Masoe) who passed away suddenly three years ago on 22.12.2009".
"Jordan had such a bright future and outgoing personality, loved music, was an awesome rapper, who would stop to help anyone in need, was tragically taken from his Mum (Tia), Nan (Jan), brothers, sisters, family and friends on this sad day," the statement said.
"He is truly loved and will be greatly missed by all."
A 21-year-old Woodridge man has been arrested over the Jordan's death, and will front court tomorrow on a murder charge. The man has been remanded in custody and will appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday morning.
He is facing charges of murder and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Police will allege the man drove a car into a group of people standing on the footpath.

Earlier today, Detective Inspector Christopher Jory confirmed the Woodridge man had been taken into custody after police arrived at his home on Sunday morning.
Police said the man's vehicle has also been seized and is undergoing forensic testing.
Det-Insp Jory said there was no information the brawl, which involved at least 100 people, was gang related or racially motivated.
A witness told Sky News how a large group of people were involved in the "big fight".
"(The victim) just fell on the ground...that's when everything stopped...everyone ran over and tried helping him," she said.
The family who hosted the party say they are shocked and saddened that it ended in tragedy.
Most of the broken glass had been cleared from the street by 9.30am Sunday, but fence pales were missing from neighbouring properties.
A large steel pole rested against the fence of the party house, a weapon that had apparently been brought to the brawl.

Detectives were doorknocking on Sunday as they continued to piece together what happened.
Police say the vehicle involved in the fatal hit-and-run was found at an address in Woodridge on Saturday night.
Police closed Station Rd at Woodridge between Nydia and Victoria streets.
A police operation has been set up in the wake of the incident and Det-Insp Jory said detectives are keen to speak to anyone who may have information.
