Tributes paid to 'beautiful soul' at centre of shooting murder probe

The man at the centre of a murder investigation after a fatal shooting has been named by family as Zikel Bobmanuel, as they paid tribute to his mother's 'pride and joy'.

A cordon has been in place on Sandywell Street in Openshaw, east Manchester, since around 2pm on Saturday (March 25), when emergency services were scrambled. First responders sadly pronounced a 32-year-old man dead at the scene after suffering gunshot wounds.

His family have paid tribute to the father, whose youngest child is just six weeks old, saying he 'had the heart of his girlfriend in his hand' they are 'devastated beyond belief'.
