The family of a teenager murdered in Enfield has appealed for information on his death.
Shaquan Sammy-Plummer, 17 (13.3.97) of N17 died after being stabbed last week.
On Friday, 30 January police were called at around 21:35hrs to reports of a male youth collapsed on the pavement at Berkeley Gardens, N21.
Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found Shaquan suffering from a stab wound.
He was taken to a central London hospital in a critical condition. He died a short while later. Next of kin have been informed.
Whilst formal identification has not taken place detectives are satisfied the deceased is Shaquan Sammy-Plummer.
A post-mortem examination at Fulham mortuary gave cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.
In a statement released today, Thursday 5 February Shaquan’s family and friends said:
“We are deeply shocked and saddened at the tragic loss of a very much loved son and brother.
“Shaquan was a good young man who was doing well at school and was liked and respected by his peers and those who worked with him.
“He was popular, caring, good humoured and well mannered. He was devoted to his family and we are proud of what he achieved in his 17 short years.
“We ask that the press and all concerned respect the privacy and dignity of the Sammy-Plummer family. It is of deep concern to us that his killer has not been found and we ask anyone who may have any information to contact the police as soon as possible to help them with their enquiries.
“We would like to thank everyone who has supported the family at this very difficult time and it is of comfort to know much Shaquan was loved by so many people who knew him at all stages of his life. May he rest in peace.”
