A teenager killed in a street attack in Birmingham has been named as 15-year-old Keon Lincoln.

The teenager was “set upon” by a gang of youths in Handsworth just after 3.30pm on Thursday, according to police.

He was taken to hospital but died of his injuries shortly afterwards, the West Midlands force added.

A post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death is due to be held.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Friday morning on suspicion of murder and is currently in custody.

The scene remains cordoned off while investigators continue to carry out a forensic examination.

Witnesses said shots were heard and the suspects were armed with knives.

Officers believe the group fled in a white car which crashed into a house in Wheeler Street, in the Lozells area of the city.
