Police investigating the fatal stabbing of a man near a Dudley takeaway have appealed for help to track down a key suspect in the case.
Detectives launched a murder inquiry after Mansoor Mahmood, pictured, was found outside Dixi Chicken in High Street, Brierley Hill, at around 4.45pm on October 15.
The 24-year-old had been stabbed in the stomach and later died in hospital. West Midlands Police have now named Niron Parker-Lee, from Brierley Hill, as a key suspected wanted in connection with the murder.
The 19-year-old is described as dangerous and should not be approached by members of the public.
Detective Inspector Harry Harrison, from Homicide, said: “It’s important we locate Niron Parker-Lee as soon as possible and I would urge anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact us.
“Someone knows where this man is and I’d remind them that harbouring a wanted man is a criminal offence and you may also face prosecution.“
