Isaac Brown was fatally stabbed

A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed to death at a shopping centre.

Isaac Brown was fatally stabbed in New Square, West Bromwich, at about 21:25 GMT on Sunday.

He was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene and a cordon remains in place.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday and remains in custody for questioning.

In a tribute the victim's family described him as fun, mischievous and always smiling.

“Isaac is a wonderful, loving, kind, happy, son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin," it read.

“We are unable to understand what has happened.

“We just want him back and this not to have happened.”

The shopping precinct remains cordoned off, officers said

Det Insp Ade George said the force's thoughts remained with the victim's family and friends.

“We hope the arrest provides some reassurance to the community as we understand the concern the tragic incident has caused to those living, working and visiting the town centre," he said.

“Extra officers will be in and around New Square as a cordon remains in place. Please talk to them if you have any concerns.

“We are still keen to speak to anyone who was in the area last night around the time of the incident and urge anyone with information to get in touch.”
