A teenager has been charged with the murder of a man in Manchester, who is believed to have been stabbed to death.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon following the death of Tyrelle Burke.
Mr Burke was found collapsed at a property in Wythenshawe, Manchester, on Friday.
The 20-year-old was discovered by police at the house on Crossacres Road at about 8.45am.
He was taken to hospital but later died.
A police spokesperson said the teenager had been remanded in custody and was due to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Monday.
In a statement, Mr Burke's family said: "Tyrelle was a funny, caring son who always had time for his family.
"We are lost for words at this time and devastated at his death."
"We need time to grieve and come to terms with what has happened."
Flowers have reportedly been left at the crime scene in tribute to Mr Burke.
Caitlin Robinson, who attended school with him, told Manchester Evening News: "He was known by a lot of people. He was the most warm-hearted person ever.
"I can speak for everyone when I say he might be gone, but he’ll never be forgotten. It's so sad."
Speaking soon after the murder investigation was launched, Detective Chief Inspector Carl Jones of GMP’s Major Incident Team said: “Our thoughts are with the man’s family at this unimaginably difficult time and we are committed to giving them the answers they deserve."
