In a moving tribute, the family said: "Jamar was a typical teenage boy, mischievous and full of fun but very loving.

"He was always smiling and his loss has devastated all of us.

"We would ask people not to judge why Jamar was out late at night. No-one deserves to have their life taken from them, especially at such an early age.

"We would ask we are left to deal with our pain."

Enquiries into the death of 15-year-old Jamar continues. He was found in Raglan Road, Smethwick at around 2.20am on Sunday morning with stab injuries. He was taken to hospital, where he tragically died.

A 17-year-old man also suffered a minor stab injury to his lower back and was treated at hospital before being released.

Anyone who was in the area or anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
