He is frequently associated in connection to Stephen Lawrence, another teenager from a neighboring area in Southeast London, who was later killed in a similar incident.[2] The deaths of these teenagers influenced the public view of racially motivated attacks in Southeast London at the time.[2] Their deaths also influenced activist movements in other areas, including the United States.[3]
