Third arrest in connection with fatal stabbing of 16-year-old in Gloucester

A third person has been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a teenager in Gloucester earlier this week.

A 16-year-old boy from Gloucester, believed to be Ramarni Crosby, died after receiving stab wounds following a serious assault on Stratton Road on Wednesday evening (15 December).

A 15-year-old male has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Two other males, aged 16 and 17, also remain in police custody at this time.

Officers are now appealing for anyone with dashcam footage of the surrounding roads, particularly between 5.30pm and 6.30pm on Wednesday, to come forward.

They would also like to speak to anybody who saw a large group of young males hanging around the Barton and Tredworth area in the time leading up to the incident.

Any witnesses or anybody with dashcam footage should contact police through the website, quoting incident 389 of 15 December: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
