POLICE are still hunting a brazen killer who stabbed a 21-year-old man to death yesterday morning.

The Werribee man was stabbed "multiple times" in the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy about 5am.

Det-Sgt Allan Birch said CCTV footage from local businesses would be used to help find the attacker.

"It appears the deceased male has suffered a number of stabbing injuries," Mr Birch said.

"The difficulty faced by us at this stage is we don't know what happened.

"We don't know who was involved and we don't know exactly how the injuries were inflicted. Because of that our investigation is extremely wide."

Det-Sgt Birch said the victim was wearing "general street clothes" of shoes, jeans and a shirt.

He said a council worker stumbled across the young victim in a "distressed" state, approached him then saw him collapse at 5am.

"Unfortunately when the ambulance arrived very shortly after the young man could not be revived."

Det-Sgt Birch said no weapons had been found but added there were "potential weapons in laneways all around" Fitzroy.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
