A man died after he was stabbed in Waterloo during an altercation between two groups of men outside Cubana Restaurant in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Adrian Keise, 32, from Lambeth, was fatally wounded outside the Lower Marsh Street cocktail bar at 2.15am on Saturday, October 29.
Officers and paramedics, responding to reports of a stabbing, found Keise fifteen minutes later near a block of flats in Frazier Street, just around the corner.
He was rushed to hospital but died a short time later. Police are urging people who were in the area that night to get in contact.

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, who is leading the investigation, said: “We know there were a lot of people in the area at the time, either socialising or returning home, or to local hotels, and I’m keen to hear from them about what they might have seen or heard.
“People in the area may have assumed this was just a pub argument, and thought nothing more of it. It may have been something that you thought was insignificant at the time, but it could be vital to our investigation.
“Did you hear raised voices or see the attack take place? Did you see anyone running away from the area? Did you film or photograph the attack? If so, we need to hear from you.”
His family have been informed and continue to be supported by specially trained officers. A post-mortem examination will soon establish the cause of death.
DCI Howie added: “Adrian had the rest of his life ahead of him and my thoughts are with his family and friends as they come to terms with his tragic death. I would urge anyone with information to do the right thing by them and contact us today.”
Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 681/29Oct.
