Mother of Dontae Davis calls him a 'man of justice' and 'ray of light' in moving tribute

The mother of 18-year-old Dontae Davis, who was stabbed and killed in Lawrence Hill, has described him as a "strong, loving, caring, charming and thoughtful" son.

In the moving tribute, Dontae's family said: "Dontae was strong, loving, caring, charming and a thoughtful son, brother, nephew and a friend to all. A young man of justice who always loved to do right for others and loved football, music and online gaming with his siblings and friends.
