The 16-year-old was shot at a party in the suburb of Casebrook on Friday night.
The man was taken into custody at a Burnside residential address on Sunday.
He was charged with murder late on Monday.
The 32-year-old was due to appear in Christchurch District Court on Tuesday morning, but remained in hospital recovering from injuries sustained during his arrest on Sunday evening.
His lawyer did not apply for bail, leaving Judge John Brandts-Giesen to remand him in custody.
He will appear in the High Court in Christchurch on 26 November alongside three other people charged in relation to the teenager's death.
