West Midlands Police confirmed that a 24-year-old man had been arrested on Thursday in connection with the death of Ekrimh Mena'a on Hunters Road on September 30 last year.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder of the 39-year-old, who was found with stab injuries near the junction with Villa Road, and remains in custody for questioning.
The force has also appealed for information about the whereabouts of Mohamed Mohamoud and Dahir Ali, with an image of 28-year-old Ali and 25-year-old Mahmoud also being released.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "We've arrested another man in connection with the murder of Ekrimh Mena'a in Lozells as we appeal for information to trace two other suspects.
"Detectives today (8 May) detained a 24-year-old man in relation to the death of Ekrimh in Hunters Road on 30 September last year.
"He was arrested on suspicion of murder and has been taken into custody for questioning.
"The 39-year-old victim was found with stab injuries near the junction of Villa Road at around 12.25am.
"Eight people have already been arrested in connection with our investigation.
"This is ongoing and we are keen to speak with Mohamed Mohamoud and Dahir Ali over the incident.
"We previously issued the image of 28-year-old Ali and following further enquiries we now also want to speak with Mohamoud, aged 25.
"We'd ask anyone with information to contact us, rather than approach them.
"You can do this via Live Chat on our website, or by calling 101, and quote 20/885260/24.
