A man who identified himself as a colleague of the victim previously told LBC he was a "good guy" who was "at the wrong place at the wrong time".
"When it's someone who's working hard to follow the system, it sucks when this happens," the colleague added.
"That's why everyone's turning up for him, because he wasn't some gang member who nobody cared about.
"He's a good guy and it's going to hurt a lot of people."
