Homicide Squad detectives have released CCTV footage as they continue their investigation into the fatal stabbing of a man in Lake Macquarie earlier this year.

Emergency services were called to Montgomery Street, Argenton, shortly after 4am on Sunday 19 April 2026, following reports of an assault.

Officers from Lake Macquarie Police District arrived to find a 38-year-old man suffering stab wounds. He was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics but died from his injuries.

A crime scene was established before the matter was taken over by State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad under Strike Force Blave.

As part of ongoing inquiries, detectives have now released CCTV footage of a man they believe may be able to assist with the investigation.

The man is described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged in his early 20s, with a thin build and blonde hair.

He was last seen at a service station in Mayfield, wearing a black jacket, black pants with a white graphic, a black cap, and black shoes.

Police are urging anyone who recognises the man, or who may have dashcam or mobile phone footage from the area at the time, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
