Family Pay Heartbreaking Tribute
“We cannot begin to put into words how sad we are to have lost Khaleed,” the family said. “He was an extremely loved son, brother, uncle, boyfriend and friend. He was a good boy who loved his family… One of his main passions was football and he had played since the age of four. He was an Arsenal supporter and we believe he was on his way home to watch the game later that night when he was stabbed and killed.
“We want to thank the members of the public who stopped to try and help Khaleed, the ambulance service and hospital staff, and the police for their efforts in the investigation. We know getting justice for Khaleed will not bring him back but we will make sure he gets the justice he deserves.”
Police Urge Witnesses to Come Forward
Authorities are appealing for anyone with information to contact Leicestershire Police on 101, quoting incident number 495 of 3 February. Witnesses can also use the live chat on the police force’s website.
