They said: ‘The passing of our son and brother has caused our entire family a very deep sadness and hurt. He was a massive pillar in our family and it is beyond painful to lose him in such tragic circumstances. There is only one way to describe him. He was one of a kind, inside and out.
‘As a family, we kindly ask that we are given time to grieve this loss and we hope that justice will be secured for him swiftly.’
A post-mortem examination established a single gunshot wound caused Abdullah’s death, South Yorkshire Police said. The force added that a large police presence would remain in and around Callow Drive as officers comb for clues and continue their investigations.
