A HEARTBROKEN family have paid tribute to a boy, 15, who was stabbed to death in Manchester.
Mohanad Abdullaahi Goobe was found with fatal injuries on Monton Street at around 4.30pm on Monday.
Greater Manchester Police were called to Moss Side after a “disturbance involving a number of people”.
Paramedics tragically pronounced the teenager dead at the scene.
In a statement released by the force, Mohanad’s devastated family said: “Mohanad was our 15-year-old son, and a younger sibling to his sister and brother.
“Mohanad was the baby of the family, he was quick to laugh, easy to love, with a ready smile.
“Our son had an uncanny ability to make you laugh, making it sometimes difficult to be serious with him.
“Mohanad had many friends, he was loyal and often played the class clown, simply to see them laugh.
“Mohanad’s life has been cut tragically short, it is difficult to comprehend that seeing your son head off for school in the morning, would be the last time that we would see that handsome face.
“Mohanad deserves to be remembered for the young man who was loved by his family, and loved big in return, not as the boy whose life was taken with no thought or reason.
“We will not allow his name to be known as yet another statistic in the rise of knife crime.
“Remember Mohanad with love in your heart and a kind word on your lips.”
Cops have arrested one boy, aged 15, on suspicion of murder.
He remains in custody for questioning as investigations are ongoing.
Meanwhile, officers from the Major Incident Team (MIT) have issued an urgent appeal for information.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Davis, from GMP’s MIT, said: “We know just how shocking this incident has been for the whole community and we are working hard to establish the full circumstances behind it.
“Additional officers are in the area as part of our wider response and they will be able to assist with any queries you may have.
“We have a teenage boy in custody and are exploring multiple lines of enquiry, but are asking for anyone with any information to please come forward.
“Any information you have could greatly assist our investigation, and I would urge the public to share it with us.”
