A man who died in a fatal shooting had previously been jailed for breaking a woman's jaw during a nightclub row in Manchester. Zikel Bobmanuel was named by his family as the victim at the centre of a murder investigation at the weekend.
The father who was said to be his mother's 'pride and joy' had just welcomed a six-week-old baby into the world, the M.E.N reports. Paying tribute to Xikel, his family described him as a 'good friend, hard working colleague' who was 'part of a large extended family'.
A cordon has been placed on Sandywell Street in Openshaw east Manchester since around 2pm on March 25 when emergency services were called out to the scene. Zikel was confirmed dead at the scene by first responders after he suffered gunshots.
