Mr Mwanza was treated at the scene but died from his injuries.

Police allege two people fled the scene along Vaughn St before first responders arrived.

Police are investigating the death, with officers believing Mr Mwanza was sitting at the back of a bus travelling south on Haines Dr when two men got on and sat near him.

The three became involved in a conversation before a fight allegedly then broke out between them.

Mr Mwanza has then gotten off the bus at the next stop but the two men followed him.

Police will allege the fight continuing on the nature strip outside a home on Haines Dr, near Vaughan Chase, before the stabbing.

Homicide Squad Detective Inspector Dean Thomas said they way Mr Mwanza died was “concerning”, the Herald Sun reported.

He urged anyone with information to contact police.

“(The two men) are dangerous given they’ve shown their propensity to commit this type of crime,” Inspector Thomas said.

“Anyone that knows the identity of these two, we ask that they come forward because they will have friends, associates and family.

“I’m sure the offenders would have spoken to others and perhaps told them about what they’ve done.”
