Police have launched a murder investigation after a man who was repeatedly stabbed in Winson Green yesterday (Friday) died in hospital.
The man, who is thought to be in his 20s, was stabbed a number of times in the chest and back at around 2.30pm in Summerfield Park, Dudley Road.
He was taken to hospital for treatment, but was pronounced dead just after midnight today (Saturday).
WMP believe we know who the man is, but are working to confirm his identity and trace his next of kin.
Police received reports that gunshots were heard, and officers remain at the scene today as forensic work continues.
A post-mortem will be held in due course.
Det Insp Laura Harrison, leading the investigation, said: “This was appalling violence which has ended in a man’s murder, and we’ve been working non-stop since yesterday to establish exactly what happened, and who was responsible.
“I really need to hear from anyone in the area at the time who saw or heard anything and who’s not yet spoken to us.
“We also really need to speak to anyone with CCTV, mobile phone or dashcam footage that might help us.”
