The A4 near Heathrow Airport has been shut down as police respond to a ‘serious incident’ between Great South West Road and the Parkway.
Cars are backing up, and buses have been diverted as the Metropolitan Police set up multiple forensics tents.
The road was closed just after midnight on Monday evening, when police responded to reports of a stabbing.
A 22-year-old man was found with serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
No arrests have been made.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller, who is leading the investigation, said: ‘Our officers responded quickly with the London Ambulance Service and did everything possible to help the victim. Our thoughts remain with his family and friends.
‘This is a fast-paced investigation, and enquiries are ongoing. Patrols from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team have been increased in the area, and anyone with any concerns is asked to speak to officers.
‘Any information, no matter how minor it may seem, could prove crucial. CCTV, doorbell or mobile phone footage may provide vital evidence.’
