A post-mortem examination on Thursday, 16 February gave cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Bonner from the Homicide and Major Crime Command continues to appeal for members the public to come forward with any information.
DCI Bonner said: “I would like to ask for the public’s help. Omer had travelled to Ivatt Way in a silver convertible BMW, which is where we believe he was first attacked.
“Were you in Ivatt Way on Wednesday, 16 February afternoon and saw the car arrive? I am keen to establish exactly what time he arrived there and why.
“We then believe the victim ran from the car and into Downhills Park Road, possibly being chased by the suspect. If you were in the area and saw anything please get in contact with us.”
