Man sought in connection with Leeds murder has links to Sheffield
29 year old Louis Grant, who also goes by the name Louis O’Brien, is wanted over the death of Emmanuel Nyabako
Police have launched a fresh appeal to find a man wanted over a murder in Leeds in 2023.
29 year old Louis Grant, who also goes by the name Louis O’Brien, has links to Sheffield.
He is being sought in connection with the death of Emmanuel Nyabako, 19, was stabbed 17 times in an incident in Francis Street, Chapeltown, during the August bank holiday weekend in 2023.
When officers arrived they found Emmanuel naked, apart from a snood around his neck, at the junction with Frankland Place where he had been dragged by his attackers.
He was rushed to hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead a short time later and a murder investigation was launched.
Jozeffi Jeffers, aged 28, of Hyde Park Road, Leeds, Phillip Bryant, aged 33, of Skinner Lane, Leeds, and Emile Riggon, aged 23, of no fixed address, were each given life sentences with minimum terms of 27 years last year.
Temporary Detective Superintendent Damian Roebuck, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “We are making a renewed appeal for information about the location of Louis Grant who remains wanted in connection with this murder.
“A year on, people’s loyalties may have changed. I would urge anyone who has any information about where Grant may be or his movements over the past year to please report it.
“A young man was murdered, a family ripped apart and while a suspect remains outstanding for this offence it is hard to provide Emmanuel’s family with any closure on this chapter of their grief.”
