A man who was seriously injured in a street assault has died in hospital.
Officers were called to Alfred Street North, St Ann’s, Nottingham, shortly before 9 pm on 17 June following reports of an assault.

Paying tribute, his family said in a joint statement:
“When Jermaine was suddenly taken away from us it took a big part of us all. He had a good soul and would do anything for anyone.
“He would always have the biggest smile on his face no matter what he was going through. He will be truly missed and will always have a place in our hearts.
“He’s gone too soon but will never be forgotten. We respectfully ask for privacy at this time as we try and come to terms with our loss.”
