The area was cordoned off while forensic officers were at the scene all day. One witness claimed a male stabbed another in the McDonald’s.
He said: "So I was going home, and there was around 15 younger people outside McDonald's and I saw a male stab a male and he fell to the floor.
"Security then restrained the male to the floor. Other security gave CPR to try and save him but this wasn't successful.
"People then tried to get to the lad who was being restrained. The police took a while to get there, it was chaos. Seeing the poor lad on the floor dead will live with me forever.
"He only looked around 18 years old. The police then took the lad away and ambulances arrived."
Flowers have been left with one card reading "God bless you darling".
In a statement, Chief Inspector Ronnie Lungu of Avon and Somerset Police said: “First and foremost our thoughts go out to the family of the man who has died at this difficult and incredibly upsetting time.
“A murder investigation is underway and we’d please ask for the benefit
