Teen Brutally Stabbed to Death on Busy Birmingham Street
A 19-year-old man was fatally stabbed in broad daylight on a bustling Birmingham road. Now, police are in a desperate hunt for the teenage suspect on the run.
Tragic Murder on Hutton Road
Yassin Alama was found gravely injured on Hutton Road at around 5.20pm last Sunday. Despite frantic efforts by paramedics and onlookers, Yassin was pronounced dead at the scene.
17-Year-Old Suspect Still At Large
West Midlands Police are urgently searching for 17-year-old Oumar Traore in connection with the murder. Multiple arrest attempts have failed so far, and officers warn the public:
Do not approach Traore under any circumstances.
“This was a violent attack in the street, which has sadly resulted in the death of Yassin,” said Jenny Birch from the Homicide team. “Yassin’s family have been left absolutely devastated. We are doing everything we can to support them and bring answers.”
“If anyone sees Traore or has information on his whereabouts, do not approach. Call 999 and quote log 3135 of 16 November.”
Police Boost Patrols and Use Tough Stop-and-Search Powers
Forensic teams have sealed off the scene with a blue tent as they comb for clues. Extra high-visibility patrols are out in force to reassure locals and step up the manhunt.
Section 60 stop-and-search powers were activated from 4pm Sunday until 7am Tuesday. This allows officers to stop and search anyone in the area without suspicion as they hunt for Traore.
Police are urging the public to stay alert and report any tips — but keep safe and steer clear of the dangerous suspect. The clock is ticking to bring justice for Yassin and make Birmingham’s streets safer again.
