Strike force police are looking for a teenage boy last seen in a Penrith Panthers jersey as they continue to probe the fatal stabbing of a young man near a train station in the Illawarra.
Jack Westren, 25, was stabbed in the abdomen shortly before 3pm on Tuesday at Dunmore, near Shellharbour Junction train station.
Paramedics rushed to the scene at Saturn Crescent, but he died as a result of the injuries.
Police established a crime scene before officers arrested Tamara Lee Doust, 35, at her home in Albion Park Rail early on Wednesday morning and charged her with murder.
Before facing court later that day an additional charge of being an accessory after the fact to murder had been laid against Doust.
About 3pm on Wednesday police made a second arrest, being that of a 15-year-old boy at an address in Horsley, before escorting him to Lake Illawarra Police Station where he was charged with murder and possessing an unauthorised pistol in relation to the seizure of a gel blaster firearm.
Police will allege Westren was stabbed while being assaulted by multiple people who fled in an Isuzu MU-X.
The vehicle was later recovered in Albion Park Rail and seized for forensic examination, police say.
Magistrate David Williams formally refused Doust bail, with the case to return to court in March.
The boy faced Campbelltown Children’s Court on Thursday where he did not apply for bail before it was formally refused.
He will return to court in April.
On Friday, police announced they were looking to identify a third person who may be able to assist Strike Force Feods with its inquiries.
A NSW Police spokesperson said the male is described as being between 15 and 18 years old, of caucasian appearance and with brown hair.
Police say he was last seen wearing a Panthers jersey, with black shorts and white shoes.
