Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Kemp said officers had spoken to a number of witnesses.
She added: "But through investigating this killing and trawling through a lot of CCTV footage from that evening, it has come to our attention a number of restaurants, takeaway establishments and public houses along Crookes Road were busy at that time.
"We would like to speak to anyone who was present in one of these, in particular The Ball public house."

At least two buses were also travelling past at the time.
DCI Kemp added: "We want to widen our net and speak to even more witnesses, as well as still looking to speak to those who may have been driving past and captured the incident on their vehicle's dashcam.
"If you were in one of the buildings overlooking the scene or travelling past on a bus at the time, please get in contact and speak to us.
"It might not seem that significant, but the smallest pieces of evidence often enable us to complete a puzzle and bring offenders before a court."
