Tributes have been paid to the student who was stabbed to death on a university campus in\u00a0Leicester<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khaleed Oladipo, 20, from London, was found collapsed in\u00a0Oxford<\/a>\u00a0Street, on the De Montfort University campus, with stab wounds just after 5pm on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

Khaleed was taken to the Leicester Royal Infirmary where he later died from his injuries. A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of a stab wound to the chest.<\/p>\n

Leicestershire Police said Khaleed was living in Leicester and studying cyber security at De Montfort University.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In tribute, Mr Oladipo\u2019s family said: \u2018We cannot begin to put into words how sad we are to have lost Khaleed. He was an extremely loved son, brother, uncle, boyfriend and friend.<\/p>\n

\u2018Khaleed was a good boy who loved his family. He was in his second year at university, and we were so proud of him.<\/p>\n

\u2018One of his main passions was football and he had played since the age of four. He was an Arsenal supporter and we believe he was on his way home to watch the game later that night when he was stabbed and killed.<\/p>\n

\u2018We want to thank the members of the public who stopped to try and help Khaleed and the ambulance service and hospital staff who did all they could to try and save him.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are also really grateful to the police for their efforts in the investigation so far to ensure the person responsible is brought to justice. We are struggling to understand why anyone would do this. We know getting justice for Khaleed will not bring him back but we will make sure that he gets the justice he deserves.\u2019<\/p>\n

A 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in police custody. A cordon remains in place at the scene.<\/p>\n

Flowers have been left at the scene on the campus.\u00a0One note, accompanied by flowers, read<\/a>: \u2018To Khaleed and family. I am so saddened that your life has been taken too soon.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018My thoughts are with your family and friends.\u2019<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s Vice Chancellor Professor\u00a0Katie Normington left a tribute and flowers at the scene earlier.<\/p>\n

In a statement this afternoon, she said: \u2018A family has lost a beloved member, and all our hearts go out to them. This tragedy is deeply felt across our campus and the city.<\/p>\n

\u2018Khaleed was a member of our DMU community, and we know this loss will be particularly difficult for those who knew him. We are directly supporting students who studied with Khaleed, as well as all our students and staff who feel this loss.<\/p>\n

\u2018As a university we create opportunities for people to achieve, and seeing that cut off so tragically is devasting for all of us.\u2019<\/p>\n

The policesaid the\u00a0incident is not believed to be terrorism related and are urging anyone with any information to come forward.<\/p>\n
