The victim of a fatal shooting had previously been jailed for breaking a woman's jaw in a nightclub row in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Zikel Bobmanel was named by his family as the man at the centre of a murder investigation at the weekend.
His family paid tribute to his mother's 'pride and joy', whose youngest child is just six weeks old. They described him as "many things to many people" including "a good friend, hard-working colleague, part of a large extended family".
A cordon has been in place on Sandywell Street in Openshaw, east Manchester, since around 2pm on Saturday (March 25), when emergency services were scrambled. First responders sadly pronounced Zikel dead at the scene after suffering gunshot wounds.
His family said:“He held the heart of his girlfriend in his hand and was a hands on father to his beloved children, the youngest just six weeks old. Zikel was happy and fulfilled, he was working hard to provide for his family and was never more content than when he was spending time with them.
“It is difficult to comprehend that Zikel has died under such tragic circumstances and the shock is profound. We are devastated beyond belief and find it hard to comprehend life without him. We would like to thank everybody for their kind words and the comfort their support has given us and respectfully ask for some privacy at this difficult time.”
In September 2018 Zikel sobbed as he was jailed for punching a woman - leaving her with a broken jaw and scarred for life - after he had been thrown out of a Northern Quarter bar.
He had begged for a custodial sentence not to be imposed after telling the court about his budding music career and how he had spent £500 of his own money making a documentary about helping
