Detectives investigating the murder of 15-year-old Deshaun Tuitt in Islington have released a new image of a man they wish to question in connection with the case.
The teenager was fatally stabbed in Highbury Fields on August 4, 2022, at approximately 9pm. Seven teenagers have already been charged in relation to the incident.
Emergency services responded to reports of the stabbing, arriving at the scene shortly before 9pm.
Despite receiving immediate treatment from paramedics, Deshaun tragically succumbed to his injuries in hospital a short time later.
A post-mortem examination found the cause of death to have been a stab wound, shock and haemorrhage.
Despite the investigation now approaching almost two years, nobody has yet been convicted of killing the teen.

"I urge anyone who has information about the man pictured, or about Deshaun’s murder, to please do the right thing and get in touch either in person or anonymously.
“His family are desperate for answers and we are doing everything we can to get them the justice they need.
“If the man in the image is you, don’t wait for us to contact you, please get in touch without delay.”
