Sitting beside Keon s twin sister Kiarah to issue her appeal for information, Ms Lincoln asked: How do you live after your child has been taken away from you? It s every parent s worst nightmare. What he could have done to warrant this type of brutality doesn t make sense. He can t have been taken like this and nobody is punished for it.
Describing her son as fun-loving, full of life and cheeky with a lot of love for family and friends, she added: His laugh was unbelievable. Not a day would go by where you wouldn t hear it.
The mother of a teenage boy who died after an attack by a group of youths says she heard the gunfire which killed him.
Keon Lincoln was shot and stabbed during the attack on Thursday afternoon in the Handsworth area of Birmingham and died later in hospital.
His mother Sharmaine Lincoln appealed to the local community to help her understand what had happened, saying it made no sense that anyone would want to take her son’s life in such a brutal way.
