The car was being driven by Aguer and was taken by another group at the soccer match. The two groups of teenage boys and young men planned to meet at the train station that night so Aguer could get the car back when an argument broke out, police say. Aguer and his friends were then chased, with their attackers carrying weapons including sticks, fence posts and knives when the 17-year-old was assaulted. Aguer Akech died at the scene. After being assaulted, Aguer escaped up a train platform and across rail lines before succumbing to his injuries.

Emergency services were called about 1.30am but he died at the scene. The other group fled in three vehicles, including the silver 2005 Holden Commodore sedan that was the subject of the dispute. The car has the South Australian number plates S111 AZI. The two other cars are a 2010 silver Honda Accord and a 2019 white Hyundai Tucson. Ten people were arrested at the time but they were all released pending further inquiries.

Police have since found the Commodore and it is being forensically analysed. Loading Anyone who saw or heard suspicious activity in the area between 11pm and 2am on December 21 to 22 has been urged to come forward. Homicide detectives have released CCTV of the African teenage boys and young men, possibly aged into their early 20s, in the hopes of identifying them. "At this stage we don’t know if any of the males in the CCTV were involved in the fatal stabbing," Detective Inspector Tim Day said.

"Because they were in the vicinity of the station at the time of the incident it's possible that they were part of either group involved, or they may simply be valuable witnesses for our investigation. "Either way, it's crucial that we identify these people and speak to them." Police are hoping to identify the rest of the brawlers.

The fight lasted about 50 seconds and Aguer was stabbed towards the end of the melee.

Mr Day said someone in the community knew the people in the footage. "No doubt there are people in the community that know what happened, believe they know who the stabber was or know the identity of these people who have not yet come to police," he said. "The two groups were known to each other, arranged to meet and the dispute occurred and subsequently escalated into a physical assault. There is nothing to indicate this is a random attack on Aguer whatsoever, and while devastating to the family and friends and the community I want to re-emphasise it is not in any way a random attack." Aguer's mother Aluel Mayola said her son had spent time in youth detention but that he had turned his life around before he was fatally attacked. "I was [in] shock ... I didn't know he would die like this," Ms Mayola told Nine News last year.
