A 46 year-old man who was seriously injured in an assault in York earlier this week has died in hospital.
Police were called to outside The Terrace Sports Bar on Fossgate just before 10.20pm on Tuesday.
They've now launched a homicide investigation - and are urging anyone with information to contact them.
A 38 year-old man who was arrested in connection has been released on bail.
Senior Investigating Officer DI Steve Menzies of the Major Investigation Team at North Yorkshire Police said: “We are naturally treating this as a homicide investigation and our thoughts are with the victim’s family at this difficult time.
“We know that there were two incidents involving the same people at the Terrace Bar. It is believed that three men were asked to leave the bar at around 8:30pm with an altercation taking place outside, and then a further incident occurring just after 10pm, again outside the bar.
“We have recovered CCTV footage that shows a number of people have witnessed different parts of these incidents and I appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident or was in the area at the time to come forward if you haven’t spoken to us yet.
“Your evidence, no matter how insignificant you feel it may be, could be vital to the police investigation”.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101.
