A man has been charged with the murder of Vadims Zmicerevskis after an incident in Spalding on Monday (November 11).
Mr Zmicerevskis, 45 and of no fixed abode, died on Green Lane after police were called to the area around 2.30pm.
Viktors Zeglovs, 33, also of no fixed abode, has been charged with murder. He is in custody and due to appear at Lincoln Magistrates Court tomorrow (Wednesday).
A 47-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of affray has also been bailed pending further investigation.
A spokesman Lincolnshire Police said Mr Zmicerevskis family is being supported by specially trained officers and ask for privacy at this time.
“The three people involved in this incident were believed to have been known to each other and we are not looking for anyone else in connection to murder,” the spokesman continued. “Our investigations are ongoing, and we are asking for help to piece together Vadims’ last known movements.
“Our detectives are keen to focus on the movements of all three men leading up to the incident, between 1pm and 2.30pm. We are particularly keen to learn more about what may have caused the altercation to take place.
“It is believed the three men had been to Aldi a short while before, between 1.30pm and 2.15pm.
“We need our community’s help to understand what may have caused this tragic event.”
Insp Matt Dickinson who was one of the first on scene said: “We know how concerning and frightening it will be for people to hear about this investigation and we are making it a priority to find out what happened.
“Members of the Neighbourhood Policing Team attended the scene within minutes of receiving the call to the Force Control Room.
“We initiated CPR but very sadly, Mr Zmicerevskis was pronounced dead shortly after emergency crews arrived.
“We are now assisting detectives in carrying out house to house enquiries and collating valuable CCTV evidence.
“We really need all the help we can get from the public, and we’re asking you to come forward with anything at all you think might help.
“We would rather you come to us with information you are unsure of than risk not mentioning it, no matter how small you think it might be.
“The smallest piece of information can make a big difference in an investigation, as we’d rather have information and not need it, than miss a key detail.”
Police are also appealing for any CCTV, mobile phone, doorbell or dashcam footage from the area that may help them.

A spokesman continued: “We also believe that there may be people with information who feel concerned about coming forward.
“They can share information completely anonymously via the independent charity CrimeStoppers. We will never know it was you who provided the information.
“If you think you can help us in our enquiries, you can contact us, and we will never know it was you or have your details form part of the public court proceedings.”
