Eight people have now been arrested after a 19-year-old man was stabbed to death in a fight outside a shop in Bradford.
Police were called to Loughrigg Street, off Newton Street in West Bowling, on Friday afternoon to reports of a group of men fighting with knives.
The victim died at the scene and two other men, aged 24 and 27, received stab wounds, police said.
Three of those arrested - one aged 18 and two aged 24 - are being questioned on suspicion of murder.
Two 27-year-old men and two men, aged 24 and 26, have been arrested on suspicion of affray, and a 53-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, West Yorkshire Police said.
One of the 27-year-old men arrested on suspicion of affray received a stab wound to the chest and remains in a serious condition in hospital.
The 24-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder received a stab wound to the arm that is not considered life-threatening.
The area remains cordoned off to allow forensic examination and specialist searches to take place.
Senior investigating officer Det Ch Insp Dan Bates said: "Our investigation remains at an early stage, and we are continuing to carry out extensive enquiries to build up a complete picture of the circumstances in which this young man has tragically lost his life.
"We are grateful to all those in the community who have come forward with information to assist the investigation and we continue to appeal for anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any relevant CCTV, mobile phone or dashcam footage to contact us.
"We have specially trained officers working to support this young man's family at what is clearly a really difficult time for them.
"We recognise that there will be an understandable level of shock and concern in the local community following this incident and we are continuing to work closely alongside Bradford District's Stronger Communities Team and the local neighbourhood policing team to reassure people and keep them informed of the progress of our investigation."
The force added that it was not in a position to identify the man.

British lawyers for Hamas investigated by watchdog
The law firm trying to remove Hamas from the UK's list of proscribed terrorist groups is being investigated by a solicitors' watchdog, The Telegraph understands. Riverway Law made headlines in April when it launched an appeal to have Hamas taken off Britain's list of proscribed groups. The firm made a submission to Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, arguing that Hamas posed 'no threat to the UK people' and should be allowed to operate here on free speech grounds. Just days after submitting its appeal to the Home Office, the firm was reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) by Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary. Mr Jenrick argued that Riverway's appeal potentially breached UK sanctions rules on terror groups. He also drew attention to apparent social media posts about the war in Gaza by Fahad Ansari, the leading lawyer in the case and the director of Riverway. The posts included claims that Hamas is a 'legitimate resistance movement' protecting Palestinians from 'UK-sponsored Israeli genocide'. The SRA is understood to be at an early phase of its investigation and no conclusions have yet been reached. In a letter to the watchdog sent in April, Mr Jenrick said there was 'a clear need to uphold public confidence in the legal profession and to ensure rigorous enforcement of the UK sanctions regime'. He said that there were 'significant questions as to whether Riverway have complied with their obligations under the UK sanctions regime, the SRA's own published guidance and broader professional standards expected of solicitors'. Mr Ansari has defended his firm's actions. In response to Mr Jenrick's complaint he said: 'We were in contact with OFSI [the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation], external counsel and others who had represented sanctioned organisation[s], to ensure that we did not breach our duties under the sanctions regime.' Riverway submitted a 106-page application to the Home Office in April, accompanied by a video which was posted to its social media channels. The application argued the proscription of Hamas in the UK should be lifted in line with European Convention of Human Rights protections in the interest of freedom of speech. It also claimed the ban is disproportionate and that Hamas poses 'no threat to the UK people'. The ongoing appeal, believed to be the first of its kind, is being fronted by Mousa Abu Marzouk, Hamas's head of international relations and its legal office. Mr Jenrick welcomed the SRA's investigation on Saturday, telling The Telegraph: 'Our sanctions regime is pointless if it isn't enforced. 'Ansari is a shameless apologist who argues Hamas poses no threat to the British people. What nonsense. This evil death cult threatens free people everywhere.' Mr Ansari has previously appeared to make a series of controversial social media posts related to the ongoing Israel-Gaza war. In posts dating from last year he appeared to praise fighters of the 'courageous Palestinian mujahideen', wrote 'you should view Hamas as an army of angels' and dismissed international courts as 'hopeless', saying that 'only armed resistance' would help Palestinians. In April last year, a post on his X account said: 'Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating especially the courageous Palestinian mujahideen who continue to resist the Western-backed Israeli genocide entirely on their own. You are the pride of this Ummah. May you celebrate Eid one day in a fully liberated Palestine.' Another comment posted in June said: 'If you believe genocidal Israel is the most moral army in the world, then you should view Hamas as an army of angels.' The SRA declined to comment. Mr Ansari and Riverway Law were approached for comment. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

A Long Island man has been arrested and charged after a woman was found fatally shot in a car outside her apartment building in Moriches on Friday, officials said. James Quininchetta, 40, of Ridge, was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with second-degree murder, a Suffolk County Police spokesperson confirmed to the Daily News. The victim, 33-year-old Rebecca Roth, was found by her mother inside a Hyundai Elantra in the parking lot of the Tall Oaks apartment complex on Long Tree Lane early Friday morning, according to police. Roth's mother, who has not been publicly identified, called 911 shortly before 8:30 a.m. Homicide Squad detectives responded and found Roth with an apparent gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Quininchetta was arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Saturday. He pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail, online court records show. George H. Duncan, Quininchetta's court-appointed attorney, told the Daily News that his client asserts his innocence and is eager to have his day in court. He's scheduled for another appearance on June 12. If convicted, Quininchetta faces 15 years to life behind bars. It's unclear what, if any, relationship he had with the victim.
