A Nigerian asylum seeker, Quham Babatunde, 34, was stabbed to death in Dublin on February 15.
The attack happened near South Anne Street, close to the city’s main shopping district, after he had attended an Afroswing event at a nightclub.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene and found Babatunde with multiple stab wounds, including one to the heart.
He was rushed to St James’s Hospital, but doctors were unable to save him.
A second man was also injured but survived with a suspected fractured cheekbone.
Police have started a murder investigation and arrested two suspects linked to the incident.
Witnesses reported that the suspects fled before emergency services arrived.
Video footage circulating online shows a masked person with a large knife in the area where the stabbing took place.
Authorities are looking into whether the attack was the result of a dispute between two groups after the nightclub event.
Babatunde had been living at the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centre in Ballyogan.
Following his death, the centre extended condolences and assured residents of available support during this difficult time.
Friends described Babatunde as a cheerful person who was always smiling.
His death has left many in the asylum-seeking community devastated.
Ireland’s Minister for Justice, Jim O’Callaghan, condemned the killing and assured that those responsible would be held accountable.
