Police’s urgent request to drivers after teen stabbed to death
Police have issued an urgent request to drivers after a teenager was stabbed to death.
Dylan Bragger died following an incident on Digmoor Road, Skelmersdale[1] on Thursday, June 29 at around 9pm. Emergency services were called to the scene but despite their best efforts the 15-year-old died at the scene.
Detectives[2] have reviewed CCTV footage, spoken with residents and followed up a number of enquiries to establish the full circumstances leading to Dylan’s death. Police said the investigation has now led to the force identifying a number of vehicles which would have driven past the scene in the moments prior to the altercation.
Officers are now asking those drivers to get in touch, even if only to confirm they do not have any information of note. Lancashire Police said it is also keen to hear from people in the area surrounding Digmoor Road, who haven’t been spoken to by police already or who may have captured footage on doorbell cameras or CCTV, before the incident.
Det Ch Insp Andrew Fallows, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “Whilst a man has been charged, our investigation is very much ongoing to establish as much information as possible about the circumstances leading to Dylan’s tragic death.
“Our ask is that if you were in the area on the evening of the 29th June and saw something, even if you believe it to be insignificant – please get in touch and let us decide.
“Likewise if you live locally or were travelling in the area and haven’t already been spoken to, please contact us”.
Felipe Figueiredo, 28, was charged with the murder of Dylan. Police continue to appeal to anyone with information about the investigation and have asked people to call on 101, quoting log 1526 of June 29.
