A murder investigation has been launched after a student was found with serious injuries and later died in hospital.
Vijay Kumar, 30, was found on Barbourne Road, Worcester, at around 4.15am on Tuesday, November 25.
Vijay, who BristolLive understands to be a student at a university in Bristol, died later that day and West Mercia Police arrested five men on suspicion of murder. They have been released on bail.
Vijay's family issued a statement which said he "filled our lives with warmth".
The family said: "Vijay brought energy, joy and laughter and filled our lives with warmth. Life was never dull with him around.
"Even in hard times, his spirit was unbreakable -- he lived with purpose, passion, and heart.
"Behind all his gestures was a heart that cared deeply for his family and friends.
"He didn't always say it, but he showed it -- in small gestures, shared glances, and unexpected kindness.
"Though his time with us was unbelievably short, it was filled with meaning.
"His tragic departure has left us devastated and has created a void in our lives.
"Saying goodbye to such a loving family member is one of life's hardest things.
"We will miss Vijay deeply and carry his memory forward in the stories we tell and the love we share."
Detective Chief Inspector Lee Holehouse said on November 28: "Over the course of the last few days my team have been conducting extensive lines of enquiries to ascertain what happened on Tuesday morning and what led to a man losing his life.
"As part of these enquiries, officers will remain on Barbourne Road over the weekend, and I would like to reassure the community that this is to continue gathering evidence and the public should not be alarmed.
"The five men who were arrested on suspicion of murder are now on bail and will continue to help us with our investigation.
"I continue to appeal to anyone who has any information that would help with our enquiries to please come forward, however insignificant you feel it may be; it could be a vital piece of information.
"Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the man who has died."
A sixth man, who was also arrested on suspicion of murder, was released with no further action to be taken.
