An 18 -year-old man previously arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the case was released with no further action taken. Senior Investigating Officer, Damian Roebuck of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: "We are continuing to follow a number of lines of enquiry as part of our investigation into Daneiko’s murder and those have resulted in three more arrests.
"Officers are reviewing extensive CCTV footage recovered from the area and have observed a number of individuals in the Harehills Lane area around the time of the murder. These are potentially key witnesses and may not realise what they have seen or heard is relevant to the investigation. I would ask anyone who was in the area on foot or in a vehicle to make contact with the incident room.
"We remain keen to speak to anyone who was in the Compton Road area or nearby between 1.30am-3.30am and saw either the assault or any suspicious activity, or anyone who has CCTV or dashcam footage which could aid enquiries."
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact police via the 101LiveChat facility on the website or by calling 101 quoting reference 13230089751. Information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
