Ellis Cox told his mum he'd be home for tea minutes before he was shot dead
The family of a murdered teenager have made a heart-wrenching appeal for information and say 'silence is not an option'.
The Plaza agreed and around 70 members of Ellis' family members and friends turned up to watch it on Saturday. Those in attendance wore hoodies printed with a photo of Ellis' face along with the slogan 'silence is not an option'. The Plaza has also shared the video on its social media channels, adding: "Ellis Cox’s family contacted The Plaza to see if we could help jog someone’s memory regarding his fatal shooting on June 23. The Plaza offer our support to the family by posting a short video we made."
Talking through the events of that fateful day, Julie said: “My husband was doing bits in our house, and I was in my sister's. Ellis was there and he was like, ‘oh, have you got a bike?’ I was like, ‘oh God, love, I don't know, we've probably got a few in the shed.’” On the lack of information about why Ellis was killed that night, she added: “We've been thrown into this world that none of us knew existed. We're very law-abiding. I've seen some things in the past and called Crimestoppers - I thought that was the norm. I've realised how naïve I am.
