A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a man in Moss Side almost six months ago. The charge follows the fatal stabbing of Adrian Brown, 34, on Raby Street.
Fatal stabbing on Raby Street
Officers were called to Raby Street on the evening of Friday, May 8, following reports of a serious assault. Adrian Brown, a father of three known to many as Dre, was found with fatal stab wounds to the chest. He was taken to hospital but later died of his injuries, prompting Greater Manchester Police to launch a murder investigation.
Two suspects charged
A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with murder. He is also charged with possession of cannabis. Taio Lee, 18, of Styal Road, Heald Green, Stockport, has been charged in connection with the incident with an attempted Section 47 assault.
Both males have been remanded into custody and are due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court today. A 27-year-old man who was arrested has been released on bail pending further enquiries.
