Police responded on Friday evening to reports of disorder outside a place of worship on Oldbury Road in Smethwick, near Birmingham. The 18-year-old victim was found in critical condition and pronounced dead at the scene.
Two other young men, aged 19 and 22, sustained injuries in the attack and were taken to hospital; their injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Police confirmed that inquiries are ongoing as they work to determine how the violence occurred and identify those responsible.
