A teenager who died in Hamstead has today been named as Jack Barry.
The 19-year-old was discovered seriously hurt in West Road just after 9.45pm last Sunday (7 March) and was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
An 18-year-old man was detained on suspicion of murder but taken to hospital with an injury. He remains in hospital for treatment and will be questioned when medically fit.
