Jamie died in hospital after being fatally stabbed during an attack at the junction of Hall Lane and Brentwood Terrace in Armley on Friday March 31. His murder prompted calls for people to “put the knives down” and led a local councillor to urge anyone with information to speak to police.

A second teenager had been travelling with Jamie in a taxi in the moments before the attack began. The 16-year-old boy was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
