We are naming four teenagers wanted over the murder of 18-year-old Michael Ababio, who died after being stabbed in Coventry.
Michael, aged 18, suffered a stab wound during a disorder outside Foleshill Library on Broad Street at around 9.40pm on 22 February.
Sadly, he was pronounced dead early on Monday morning.

They are: Shakeel Ahmed, Mouhammadou Barry, and Ismail Nabeel, all aged 17, and Mahad Mohammed, 19.
Det Insp Nigel Box, leading the investigation, said: “We’ve worked around the clock since the tragic murder of Michael as we establish exactly what happened and who was responsible.
“We’ve made a number of efforts to locate and arrest the four teenagers we are naming today, and now need the public’s help as that work continues.
“I need anyone who knows where they may be, or where they have been since Sunday, to get in touch straight away and talk to us.
“Michael’s family deserve answers, and we will not rest until that happens.
“Anyone who is helping any of the four evade capture needs to know that they too face arrest.
“I’d also like to thank those who have sent information to our dedicated website. We are continuing to gather evidence and follow new lines of enquiry.”
