West Midlands Police confirmed he passed away in hospital following the attack, described as \u201csenseless and appalling.\u201d Leo, a student at Christ Church C of E Secondary Academy, was remembered as a \u201clively, happy young man\u201d by his headteacher, Diane Henson. She shared that Leo was \u201cjust a lovely and bright member of the school community\u201d and had many friends who adored him. A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Police confirmed the suspect is also under investigation for an unrelated assault on a woman in her 80s last week. The incident occurred near a railway bridge by Trittiford Mill Park, a busy area surrounded by schools and shops. Floral tributes and heartfelt messages have been left at the scene, with one reading, \u201cOur lives won\u2019t be the same without you.\u201d West Midlands Police Chief Superintendent Richard North called for witnesses and urged against speculation about the motive. The force has also increased local patrols to reassure the community. Knife crime figures show the West Midlands has the highest rate in England and Wales.
