How can I find which commit removed a file from git?

If I have a file under git e.g. an image png that was removed from the repository, how can I find which commit removed it?
Also I would like to search even if I am not 100% about the file name e.g. if it was some_image.png or some_image_icon.png for instance

Try this

git log --diff-filter=D -- *some_image_*.png

Or (if you know the path):

git log --diff-filter=D -- path/to/file/some_image_*.png
