Rhys, who played for The Fir Tree Boys football club, was on his way home from football practice
with two friends. As he was crossing the Fir Tree pub car park, on Fir Tree Drive South in the
Croxteth Park estate, Liverpool, a hooded youth riding a silver mountain bike approached. He then
held out a handgun at arm's length firing three shots. It was originally believed that one of the
shots hit Rhys in the neck.

However, during the trial the pathologist revealed the bullet had entered his back "slightly above
the left shoulder blade" and that it had then "exited from the front right side of his neck". The
shooting occurred in daylight at 7.30 pm BST.

THE CORD
We are connected, My child and I, by An invisible cord Not seen by the eye. It's not like the cord That connects us 'til birth This cord can't be seen By any on Earth. This cord does it's work Right from the start. It binds us together Attached to my heart. I know that it's there Though no one can see The invisible cord From my child to me. The strength of this cord Is hard to describe. It can't be destroyed It can't be denied. It's stronger than any cord Man could create It withstands the test Can hold any weight. And though you are gone, Though you're not here with me, The cord is still there But no one can see. It pulls at my heart I am bruised...I am sore, But this cord is my lifeline As never before. I am thankful that God Connects us this way A mother and child Death can't take it away!
cant believe something so tragic can happen, watch over your family rhys they need you to keep them strong goodnite godbless bbe xxx
Tragedy
The people who did this to Rhys are not worthy of the word people. How anyone could attack this young innocent is beyond me. I hope Rhys' family and friends can take some small comfort from the sheer amount of tributes Rhys has received, and let's all hope this disgusting crime leads to a clamp down on gangs and guns. No one deserves this, let alone a young lad who never did harm to anyone and had his whole life in front of him.
Rest in peace Rhys, you will never be forgotten. Keep on playing the game in heaven, it has certainly gained another angel.

RIP sweet Rhys, I have 2 beautiful grandkids and the thought of anything happening to them makes me feel ill, I cant imagine how much hurt you feel at this time. I watched your appeal on tv & was so upset, you are so brave. I wish the government would do something about these yobs.
I hope they catch the scum that did this and he gets his, remember, God dont pay his debts with money. xxx
for RHYS and his family
I send my heartfelt sympathy to you all, I never knew your little boy but along with the rest of the world I feel shock and despair, being a parent myself I can only imagine how desparate and heartbroken you all feel, I see the sorrow in your eyes and hear the pain in your voice and I weep with you. This must not happen again we must change the world for the sake of your lovely little lad, time is a great healer so they say , and time can do so much, but only time will tell, please let this be the last time. My heart goes out to you.
