Sami Sidhom was attacked on Monday 16, April as he returned home from an evening West Ham United football match.
It is understood he got off the bus at Romford Road and was walking in Chestnut Avenue before being stabbed by a number of suspects.
A post-mortem found the cause of death to be multiple stab wounds.
A reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Sami’s murder is now being offered.
Samer Sidhom, Sami’s father, said: “My son’s killers are still walking the streets free of conviction or charge. I need you to provide the evidence to convict them.
“You know who you are and you have a choice. A choice to be someone that hides in the dark, or a brave person who sets the record straight.
“If you know the killers, you already know they killed a perfectly innocent person for no reason whatsoever.
“He has done nothing to anyone; he was never involved in anything and had nothing to do with his killers.
“The only person that would stop them from doing the same to you is you. You need to stand up and provide the evidence or information that will put them behind bars for a lifetime.
“You owe it to yourself and to an innocent brilliant young man.
“Every day they spend in freedom, Sami spends in a grave from which he’ll never return. The brutality of his death is compounded by the indifference and the silence of those that can bring him justice.
“We, his family, relive his murder everyday knowing that a beloved son and an aspiring lawyer has been failed by everyone.”
Nine suspects, aged between 15 and 35, have been arrested so far in connection with the incident.
Eight of them have since been released under investigation while no further action will be taken against the ninth.
