Two men, aged 24 and 18, were arrested on suspicion of affray in connection with the investigation.

Dale, known to his family and friends as DJ, was fatally stabbed on Stenson Road on Sunday 15 June.

Detective Chief Inspector Claudia Musson who is leading the investigation said: “We have made a significant number of arrests as our investigation has progressed.

“Our enquiries are still very much ongoing, and we are still appealing for members of the public to contact us with any information relevant to our enquiries.

“Of particular interest is anyone that may have seen a Renault Megane in the area of Stenson Road around the time of the incident and we would like them to contact us.

“In addition, we would like to hear from anyone who saw e-bikes or mopeds being ridden around the Stenson Road and Sinfin area – particularly those with a rider and pillion passengers – around the time of the incident to reach out to us.

“No matter how insignificant you feel the information may be, it could be key to our investigation.

“Specially trained officers are supporting Dale’s family, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.”

We are also investigating a linked incident that took place outside The Oaklands pub on Oaklands Avenue in Littleover earlier in the evening on Sunday.

At around 6pm officers were called to reports of men carrying knives. No one was injured at this location.

We would like to speak to anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage in the area of Oaklands Avenue.
