A 29-year-old man has been stabbed to death in a fight in south-west London.
He was stabbed at the junction of Gowan Avenue and Munster Road in Fulham in the early hours and died at the scene.
Neighbours said they heard an argument unfolding at 00:30 GMT – in the same street where presenter Jill Dando was murdered on her doorstep in 1999.
A friend of the victim’s described him as a “good and big man” and said: “At the age of 29, you don’t do silly things like this, knife crimes.”
The friend, who asked not to be named, said he was not aware of any similar violent incidents in the residential area but added: “There might have been a stabbing in this area, don’t get me wrong, but they are normally with kids, not people our age.”
Efforts were still being made to contact the victim’s family, police said.
No arrests have been made.
Det Ch Insp Glen Lloyd, said: “We are appealing for information from those who were out and about in the area at the time of the attack and saw anything of note.
“My team is particularly keen to trace a light skinned black male, approximately 6ft tall who was seen near the scene at the time.”
TV presenter Ms Dando was 37 when she was shot in the head on the doorstep of her home in Gowan Avenue on 26 April 1999.
