Salford Murder: Teen Is Named By Police

A 19-year-old man found dead in Salford has been named by police as Travis Barber.

The teenager, a personal trainer, was found with multiple injuries by police officers who were called to Light Oaks Road shortly after 9.20pm on Sunday.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have launched a murder investigation.

Superintendent Wayne Miller, at Salford, said: "We are still in the very early stages of our enquiries and we are working to establish the full circumstances that led to his death.

"Travis was fairly new to the area and worked as a personal trainer in Stockport."

Supt Miller appealed to anybody with information to come forward, and sought to reassure residents the area was safe.

"I want to reassure them that we have a team of officers investigating this matter and we have also deployed additional local officers to the area."

A post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death has yet to take place.
