Jamie Meah died in hospital after being fatally stabbed in an attack at the junction of Hall Lane and Brentwood Terrace in Armley last Friday (March 31). He was in a taxi with a 16-year-old boy when they were stopped by suspects in another vehicle, before being attacked. The 16-year-old boy suffered serious injuries that were not life-threatening.

Police carried out a number of operations in Leeds over the weekend as part of enquiries and arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of murder. He was later released on police bail pending continuing enquiries.
