Police name man killed in city attack
SuppliedA 25-year-old man who was murdered on a busy high street has been identified by police as Gino Robb.
Officers were called to Shields Road in the Byker area of Newcastle at 19:25 BST on Tuesday after reports of an assault.
Emergency services found Robb there with serious knife wounds and he was taken to hospital, where he died a short time later.
Det Ch Insp Mark Atherton, from Northumbria Police, said the force's thoughts "remain firmly with Gino's family and loved ones following the tragic events of Tuesday evening".
Following Robb's death, two men aged 24 and 22, along with a 16-year-old boy, were arrested on suspicion of murder. They have since been released on bail.
A further three people - two men aged 40 and 30 and another 16-year-old boy - were arrested in Walker on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
The 40-year-old has been released on bail while the two other suspects remain in custody.
Atherton said officers would remain in Byker and Walker to carry out further inquiries and to reassure the community during this "unsettling time".
"We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw two people on an electric motorbike which we believe entered Shields Road from the area of Grace Street in the minutes leading up to the incident, before then heading back along Shields Road and back into the area of Grace Street," he said.
"Thank you to those who have contacted us so far and if you do have information or footage which could assist us, please get in touch so that we can provide Gino's family with the answers they deserve."
