Ladywood shooting victim Kenichi Phillips was expectant dad
A teenager shot dead in a car in Birmingham was an expectant father, his family said.
Kenichi Phillips, 18, was killed as he sat in a Seat Leon on St Marks Crescent shortly before 19:00 GMT on 17 March.
His father, who did not want to be named, said Kenichi "was loved and will not get the chance to see his son born".
A 22-year-old Birmingham man arrested on Friday has been released on police bail as inquires continue.
This extract is from BBC News, it caught my eye due to the heading. Although the heading features the death of Kenichi Phillips it seems to draw you away from the fact that he is an 18 year old young boy who has been shot dead but highlights the fact that he was an expectant father. This shows that the media likes to highlight aspects which are not of much relevancy to the actual matter but add them anyway for people to sympathize more with the story.
