The family of the young man murdered in Moss Side on Saturday night have paid tribute to him
21-year-old man Cheriff Tall died of shotgun injuries along with a 36 year old man.
Paying tribute to Cheriff, his family said: “Our family cannot put into words how we feel about losing Cheriff.
“The death of someone so young, and barely into adulthood is difficult to process, and knowing that he was taken from us in such a brutal way has left us devastated.
“Cheriff was loved and respected by his brothers and sisters, and he loved and respected them and to say they are broken is an understatement.
“Cheriff loved his parents dearly, he was very close to his mother and it’s impossible to say that she will ever recover from this senseless loss. He was a model son, they doted on him and they are overcome with grief.
“He had a strong sense of loyalty and would not turn his back on his family or friends and would always try to help anyone who needed it.
“Cheriff was a popular and well liked member of the community and we as a family are grateful for the messages of condolence and support we have received.
“We have a long road ahead of us as we try to come to terms with the death of our son, and we would appreciate our privacy being respected at this time.”
