Floral tributes have continued to be laid at the scene of a brutal attack which left a teenager dead.
Michael Toohey, 18, was attacked outside an internet cafe on London Road shortly before 6pm on Saturday, April 16. Emergency services rushed to the scene and took Michael to the Royal Liverpool Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Friends and family gathered on London Road and Monument Place on Tuesday (April 19) to remember dad-to-be Michael, as they released hundreds of balloons into the sky.

Michael's family have paid tribute to their "kind, caring and courageous" son, while his girlfriend Rhianna Draper said he made her the "happiest girl alive" in a heartbreaking tribute.
The tributes have been placed at the police cordon which is still in place at the murder scene. Two heart-shaped tributes are from family members, with one reading: "To a beautiful nephew... tragically passed away. You lived your life with laughter and cheer. Old memories we will hold dear."
The other read: "To a beautiful grandson. You lost your life at tragic scene."
The family has expressed a wish that Michael can be remembered with a minute's applause at tomorrow's Merseyside Derby.
Detectives are keen to speak to people who were seen standing at a bus stop on London Road and walking past TJ Hughes at the time of the incident who may have witnessed what happened. They are also appealing to the driver of a vehicle which was seen being driven erratically at the time.
The results of a post mortem confirmed Michael, of Oil Street, Liverpool, died from multiple injuries. A 34 year-old woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been bailed pending further enquiries.
