Shakur Pinnock's loved ones to join to shine a light in his memory on Sunday night
Family and friends of a young man who died after an e-scooter crash will join outside to shine a light in his memory this Sunday night.
Shakur Amoy Pinnock, 20, died at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham after he and his girlfriend Chante Hoosang were involved in a serious collision with a Volkswagen Golf while they were riding an e-scooter in Wolverhampton on June 12.
Shakur's mother, Celine Fraser-Pinnock, paid tribute to her "fun-loving, jovial and peaceful" son.
She said family and friends will gather socially distanced outside her house in Wolverhampton at 9.30pm on Sunday to pray and light candles.
Mrs Fraser-Pinnock added: "We have to wait until it's dark, we're going to do a little prayer and sing and everybody is going to be shining a light and candles.
"They're all going to be along the streets with social distancing, my street and the adjoining streets.
"If they can't be here they can light a light wherever they are.
"We just want to make sure everyone is praying for Shakur and to shine a light and pray for him.
"We've got a banner in his honour which will be outside the house."
She said: "Everybody is trying to be there for each other.
"There's still flowers coming, lots of cards and people coming and sending messages."
To join Shakur's family and friends on Sunday, contact Mrs Fraser-Pinnock on social media for the address.
The driver of the VW Golf, a woman, was unhurt.
