A lifelong Liverpool FC supporter who was tragically shot dead while visiting his family in the USA was honoured by fellow fans at the club's biggest game of the season. Benjamin Tucker died in the early hours of Sunday, April 24, after being shot at a convenience store in the US state of Georgia.
The 27-year-old, originally from Hampshire and living in London, had journeyed to the USA to see family for a month when he lost his life. Another man, Henry McDonough, 32, was shot but survived and US citizen Georgiamae Lawrence, 28, has been charged with murder.
Friend Josh Bothe, 27, had called on fellow supporters to celebrate Ben's life with a round of applause during the 28th minute of the Liverpool v Villarreal match last night at Anfield, reports the LiverpoolECHO.
