Young man "left to die" following Kingshurst stabbing

A YOUNG man who suffered a fatal stab wound following a row in a Kingshurst flat has today been named as Callum Lees.
The 20-year-old is understood to have been injured during a disturbance at the property in Hopwas Grove yesterday morning (Sunday).
A member of the public found him collapsed in nearby Haselour Road at around 10am and he was airlifted to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. A post-mortem is understood to have taken place today.
In a statement issued through West Midlands Police, Callum's family described him as "a beautiful, caring, kind soul."
"Everyone who knew him only had good words to say. Our world has been shattered and will never be the same again."
Detectives have confirmed that a 21-year-old man, from the Solihull area, has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. Enquiries are ongoing, with forensics teams having removed a number of items from the street, which is near Yorkswood Primary School.
Det Insp Jim Munro believes there were several other people at the flat at the time of the disturbance – and has urged them to come forward.
He added: "We suspect the victim knew his attacker and efforts are well underway to find the person responsible.
"Our enquiries suggest that a group of people were drinking in the flat at the time…they need to call me immediately so we can understand exactly what happened and eliminate them from our enquiries.
"A young man has lost his life in awful circumstances and been left to die in the street."
Anyone with information can call officers on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
