Homicide detectives are trying to track down a Shepparton teenager as they investigate the fatal stabbing of a man in Docklands earlier this month.

Alier Riak, 23, died after being stabbed at Docklands on Sunday March 13. His brother Kuol was seriously injured.

Five people have been charged in relation to the Docklands incident, with the alleged offences including murder, violent disorder, affray and committing an indictable offence while on bail.

Victoria Police named Mageri Sari, 19, as a subject of interest and asked the public to help locate him.

Anyone who does identify Sari is advised to avoid contact with him and call triple-0 immediately.

The regional Victorian city of Shepparton was named as his home, but police said the teenager was also known to frequent Epping, Bundoora, Northcote, Melbourne's CBD and was most recently seen in Tarneit in the city's west.

Mr Sari has been described as 183 centimetres tall with a medium build, brown eyes and short dark hair.

Police have been searching for the teenager and believe he is actively avoiding detection.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
