On Monday, 12 January 2026, our beloved Maliki — an 18-year-old son, brother, Nephew, Cousin, and friend, was tragically and brutally taken from us in a senseless act of violence on Victoria Road in Feltham, West London. Maliki was fatally stabbed while trying to stop someone from stealing his bike. Emergency services rushed him to hospital, but despite the tireless efforts of medical staff, Maliki heartbreakingly passed away. A young life full of promise was stolen in an instant.

Maliki was a bright, warm hearted, funny caring young man with the most beautiful soul. His smile could light up a room, and his kindness left a lasting mark on everyone he met. He was loved so deeply, not only for his humour and friendly nature, but for the genuine care and compassion he showed to others every single day.

He was a devoted son and brother, cherished and protected by his family. His mum, Rachel, held her children close, always trying to shield them from a world she feared could be cruel, a fear no parent should ever have to see come true. Now, she and all who loved Maliki are left facing a pain no words can ease.

Maliki was a college student with his whole life ahead of him. Dreams still forming, goals waiting to be reached, and a future filled with endless potential. He had so much love to give, and his caring nature made him not only a wonderful son and brother, but a loyal, genuine friend to many.

The devastation left behind is unimaginable, for his brother Diago, his mum Rachel, and his entire family and circle of friends. A life so pure, so deeply loved, has been taken far too soon, leaving a silence that will never truly be filled.

We are raising funds to support Maliki’s family through this unimaginable loss, to help cover funeral costs and ease the heavy financial burden that no grieving family should ever have to carry. No parent should have to bury their child. No family should have to worry about finances while their hearts are breaking.

Any support, no matter how small, will mean more than words can express. Your kindness will help give Maliki’s family the time and space to grieve, to remember, and to honour the beautiful life that he lived.

Thank you for helping us remember Maliki with love, dignity, and compassion.

He will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace, Maliki (Mags)

Your light lives on in every heart you touched.
