Police believe a young man stabbed to death in southwest London was involved in a brawl involving up to 10 people.
The 22-year-old was pronounced dead at Cambridge Gardens in Kingston in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Police and members of the public gave CPR before paramedics arrived, but he could not be saved.
His family have been informed and a post-mortem will take place.
There are no arrests as yet, the Metropolitan Police said.
A "large area" has been cordoned off for forensic examinations, Chief Superintendent Sally Benatar said.
"It is believed that the victim may have been involved in an altercation involving up to 10 people prior to being assaulted," said Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cranwell.
"We need to hear from anyone who was there who may have any information, no matter how small.
"It could be that you were simply a witness to the incident and not directly involved. We need to eliminate you from the investigation as soon as possible."
Ms Benatar said: "Whilst crimes with this level of violence are rare within the borough, I appreciate that people are concerned."
Anyone with information should call 101 or 020 8721 4054, quoting reference 939/5 August.
