Police have revealed he was seen having a disagreement with two men moments before he was knifed.

Both were seen near The Croft close to the entrance on the Little Aston Road side just before the attack.

They are still both wanted for questioning by police.

A post-mortem found Mr Brindley died from a stab wound to the heart, and now Crimestoppers has offered the reward to 'support police and try to provide answers for his family'.

Pauline Hadley, Crimestoppers' West Midlands regional manager, said: “I cannot begin to imagine what James’ girlfriend and family must be going through at the moment after such a senseless and tragic murder.

“Nobody should be allowed to get away with such a callous attack, and that is why I am appealing to local people who might have any information, to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.

Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or by visiting crimestoppers-uk.org

A fundraising appeal set up in Mr Brindley's memory has now raised more than £13,000.
