The victim of a stabbing has been named, following a murder investigation on Monday.

Following the murder on Claremont Road in Moss Side in the early hours of Monday 15 August 2022, police have now formally identified the victim as 20-year-old Javell Morgan, of West Yorkshire (pictured).

The man aged was found with serious injuries and was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Police initially suspected it was a shooting, but they have now revealed it was a stabbing.

GMP’s Senior Investigating Officer, DCI Neil Higginson, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Javell Morgan, as they try to process the devastating death of their loved one.

“They have requested privacy at this time.

“Now a Home Office post-mortem has been performed, we can confirm that Javell sadly died as a result of stab injuries, not by a shooting, as was originally thought.

“As the investigation progresses and all lines of enquiry explored, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have any information to assist our ongoing investigation.”
