Moss Side murder victim named, and cause of death revealed

Following the murder on Claremont Road in Moss Side in the early hours of Monday 15 August 2022 of a 20-year-old man, police have now formally identified the victim as Javell Morgan, of West Yorkshire (pictured).

GMP’s Senior Investigating Officer, DCI Neil Higginson, said: “Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Javell Morgan, as they try to process the devastating death of their loved one. They have requested privacy at this time.

“Now a Home Office post-mortem has been performed, we can confirm that Javell sadly died as a result of stab injuries, not by a shooting, as was originally thought.

“As the investigation progresses and all lines of enquiry explored, we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have any information to assist our ongoing investigation.

“Information can be given by calling 101, or by using our online LiveChat service on our website via www.gmp.police.uk.

"You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 and, anyone with information including photos or videos, can submit it to our dedicated public portal here: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/06GMP22A55-PO1.”
