Brother Of BBNaija's Khafi Shot Dead In UK

Alexander Kareem, brother of a former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate,  Khafi Kareem, has been shot dead close to his family house in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, United Kingdom.

AllNews understands that Alexander was a 20-year-old student who died in the street at 12:40 am, according to The Sun UK.

He was said to have screamed for help while lying in the street, and passers-by tried to give him CPR before paramedics reached the scene, but he gave up the ghost.

Reports say he died from gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen.

“His family is distraught. Alex wouldn’t talk down to anyone – he was friends with everybody,” a friend told The Sun.

“They are all good people. His sister Khafi spreads positivity through her YouTube account. She wakes up and prays for people at 7.30 every morning.

“Alex’s brother is trying to get back from Australia to grieve with the rest of his family, his mum is completely devastated.”

“After leaving school Alex was the same goofy guy – he was always happy – and always had a smile on his face,” the friend added.

Mourners were said to have left bouquets at the scene of the shooting and a photo showing Alexander with classmates with a message reading “You will always be in our hearts”

Police are appealing for information about a white Range Rover driven by his killers which was found burned out three miles away in Ealing.

Det Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley said: “We are determined to bring those responsible for this unnecessary and terrifying violence to justice.

“We continue to appeal for witnesses who may have seen or heard what happened to come forward.

“The white Range Rover seen in the area and later found burned out is also a key part of the investigation.”

Taking to Instagram, Khafi, who was a housemate in the Pepper Dem edition, shared a black image with the caption; “00:40”
