New information has emerged in the homicide investigation of 21-year-old Winston-Salem State University student Najee Ali Baker.

Authorities are identifying and interviewing everyone who was either involved in the altercation or nearby at the time it occurred.

The Winston-Salem Police Department has released still images of three men who detectives are trying to locate and interview as part of the investigation.
