He owns and runs the Hen and Chickens Bar and Grill restaurant in Derby.
Danny tragically died at the scene in Lloyds bank in Derby, at around 2.35pm on Tuesday.
A man in his 40s was arrested in Normanton on suspicion of murder.
Another man, in his 30s, was arrested in the same property on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Councillor Ajit Atwal, the leader of the Lib Dem group on Derby City Council and a close friend of Danny, called his death "senseless".
He told DerbyshireLive: "It's a sad day for Derby. He was the most hard-working and devoted family man.
"It makes no sense what has happened. Something must have gone terribly wrong for him to be killed in this way.
"He was a good businessman and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He was humble, quiet and a kind guy and would always go above and beyond for everyone."
Locals told of their shock at the horror stabbing, taken aback that it happened "in broad daylight".
Detective Inspector Tony Owen, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, is leading the investigation.
He said on Tuesday: 'We appreciate that this incident will have caused significant concern to the local community and we'd like to thank them for their patience and understanding.
'No-one else was hurt and while the investigation is at an early stage, at this time we are treating it as an isolated incident. Officers will be in the area for some time so we'd encourage anyone with any concerns to please speak to us.
"We'd also encourage anyone with any information on this incident to please contact us as a matter of urgency.'
