Teen shot at memorial for murdered pal

-

A TEENAGER was shot at a graveyard while mourning the death of his murdered 15-year-old pal.

It happened as crowds paid their respects to Keon Lincoln, a year to the day after he was gunned down outside his own home.

The 17-year-old shot in the foot on Friday at Handsworth cemetery in Birmingham suffered nonlife-threatenin­g injuries.

Det Sgt McCullogh, from West Midlands Police, said: “This is a shocking thing to happen in broad daylight.”

No motive has been establishe­d for Keon’s brutal murder last January.

Five teenagers were jailed over his death, with four given life sentences.
