A murder investigation has been launched after a masked gang attacked a 19-year-old man in Leeds.
Police were called following reports the man was assaulted outside a property on Francis Street in Chapeltown at around 2.10am on Saturday 26 August.
Detective Chief Inspector Damian Roebuck, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “A young man has tragically lost his life and at this time we do not know the motivations for this attack.
“From initial reports, we understand that three to four people wearing balaclavas have been involved in a sustained attack on the victim.
We need to identify these individuals, and I would ask the community to support us in this task by providing information to the investigation team.”
It comes as the West Indian Carnival takes place in the city this weekend.
