Urgent hunt for man wanted in teen ‘murder’ probe as cops release CCTV and urge anyone who sees him to call 999
A MAJOR hunt has been launched to find a man wanted in connection with a murder investigation after a teenager was killed.
Cops have released a CCTV image of Tino Williams - who they wish to speak to after the death of Brandon Porter Kershaw, 19, in Bury, Greater Manchester, last week.
They have urged anyone who sees Williams, 23, to call 999 - with Mr Kershaw having died from his injuries after being hit by a vehicle last Monday evening (May 19).
A CCTV picture of the 23-year-old was shared by the force, showing him in a pair of grey shorts and a dark coloured puffa coat.
Another suspect, a 38-year-old man, was previously arrested on suspicion of murder following the fatal collision.
In a tribute, Brandon's family described him as a "gentle and kind-hearted young man" whose death has "left a deep void in our lives".
They said: "We are all truly shocked and heartbroken by the sudden loss of Brandon.
"He was a gentle, kind-hearted young man whose warmth and social nature touched everyone around him.
“Brandon was taken far too soon, and his passing has left a deep void in all our lives.
"Brandon was a devoted dad to his young daughter, who he loved deeply.
