Mr Powell's family have appealed for anyone with information about his murder to contact police.

Speaking at a press conference, his sister Andrea James described her "baby brother" as a "peacemaker".

She said: "Let's get back our community. We should be able to let our children feel safe on the streets without anything like this happening.

"I am just pleading to anyone who knew Dolton and might have the smallest piece of information to please come forward."

Det Chief Inspector Steve Porter, of Gloucestershire Police, said: "We still need to speak to two people from the Bristol area about their presence at the scene, and I would appeal to them to come forward immediately."
