A 17-year-old boy has been stabbed to death in High Wycombe in a “targeted attack”.
Police are searching for four suspects, all of whom had their faces covered.
Another 17-year-old boy was also hurt in Sunday’s attack but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Det Supt Kevin Brown, of Thames Valley police, said: “We are in the very early stages of this investigation and details as to what has happened are currently very limited.
“The incident occurred between 7pm and 7.30pm close to the main car parks of Easton Street, at a time when members of the public would have been using the car parks, attending the theatre or preparing for a night out in the town.
“It is therefore very important that anyone who was close to Easton Street at this time and saw something unusual or out of the ordinary, or indeed knows anything about this incident, gets in touch as soon as possible. Anyone who has any information or footage from dash-cams, doorbells or CCTV close to Easton Street is urged to make contact.
“This is a tragic incident in which a teenage boy has been killed, and I know that it will cause a great deal of concern in the community.
“However, I would like to reassure everyone that we are carrying out a thorough investigation into what appears to be a targeted attack.”
