Tbf the police have said it was a targeted killing related to drug gangs and he had described himself as a 'trapper kid' on facebook.. obviously he's just a kid and the tragedy is that he ended up in that lifestyle but it's the reality in some parts of the country, not really much point denying it

The narrative of this story would have been completely different if the boy was white. It's gross that the victim is being demonised for being murdered. It just goes to show how deep racism still runs in this country.

I hope they catch the killers soon and I hope the media turns their attention on that instead of highlight why the victim had it coming since that can only damage efforts to actually solve the crime.

Sure
But White Kids also do the Gun pose
just this time a black 14 year old was Hunted Down
and killed - for a unknown reason.

Driving an illegal scooter in London with a mask covering your face is asking for trouble drugs or no drugs white or black

Stabbing victim Jayden Moodie poses with bundles of cash and confessed to being a 'trapper boy' - slang for a drug runner - and may have been a victim of a feud between gangs.

The poor boy, more young people losing their lives in senseless circumstances, it’s appalling, I feel for his family.

Well as we know there's quite a few young teens involved in trouble & gangs so it's not far fetched to assume he was involved in that sort of life.

But on the other hand it could of been other reasons . Either way it's a horrible crime to of happened at just 14 years old ! .

Any suspects in this case yet?

I suspect it's black on black crime and generally black people don't co-operate with the police. So probably not. I have a mate who comes from Leyton, and wouldn't go back for a lottery win.
