A woman has died after being stabbed in the neck in Birmingham on Friday.
The 34-year-old was seriously injured on Smallbrook Queensway shortly before 9pm on Friday (7 Nov). She was taken to hospital but has since died.
Police have described the attack as unprovoked.
Djeison Rafael, 21, was charged over the weekend with attempted murder, but police will now make an application to the Crown Prosecution Service to amend the charge to murder.
West Midlands Police said: "Extra officers will be around Birmingham city centre to offer reassurance as we understand this is a worrying incident.
"We are still keen to hear from anyone who knows more about what happened or the movements of Rafael, who we believe was wearing an all-grey tracksuit, black hat, trainers and rucksack on Friday evening (7 November)."
