A Seddon man died in hospital after being assaulted in the CBD on Wednesday, October 9.
The 44-year-old man was walking from Flinders Street to Elizabeth Street when a man accosted him and punched him in the head.
The man suffered serious head injuries and was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, where he later died.
Homicide squad detectives are appealing for public assistance in locating Todd Menegald after a man was seriously injured in the CBD earlier this week.
Detectives have been conducting an extensive search in recent days to locate Menegald.
He is said to be approximately 180-185cm tall and of a thin build.
Menegald also goes by the nickname “Rooster” and owns a black-and-white Staffordshire Terrier.
Police released images and surveillance cameras of Menegald in the hope that someone would come forward with information about his current whereabouts.
He is known to frequent Melbourne's CBD, particularly around Elizabeth Street and Flinders Street stations, as well as the Mildura and Bendigo areas.
He was last seen wearing a purple zip-up sweater, dark jeans, and a yellow beanie.
Anyone who witnesses Menegald is urged not to approach him and to contact Triple Zero (000) immediately.
Anyone with information should contact Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
