Detectives in York investigating the death of a man in the city are urging two local men to come forward immediately.
Officers need to talk with them regarding the death of a 21-year-old York man, who it is believed had been involved in a violent incident on Haxby Road before being hit by a taxi.
The man who died was Sam Wilson, who was 21 and from Haxby, York.
Detective Inspector Andrea Kell, of York CID said: The men we are looking for know that we need to speak to them as a matter of urgency. I urge them to come forward and contact the police immediately. It is in their own best interests to do so, sooner rather than later.
Officers have already visited a number of addresses to which the two men have links.
They will continue to actively search for them until they have been traced.
I am also asking for anyone who witnessed the violent incident or the collision, which led to this tragic death, to contact the police straight away, as they may have vital information which could progress my enquiries.
