A young father who was fatally stabbed in a Brisbane food court early on Monday morning had recently celebrated his daughter’s first birthday, it has been revealed.
Lauie Michael Tagaloa, 24, was found dead at the Valley Metro food court outside the Fortitude Valley train station after a “confrontation” between two groups, police say.
The brawl and stabbing were captured in graphic witness footage that has gone viral online.
A close friend of Tagaloa told
The Courier-Mail he had recently celebrated his daughter’s birthday, as a GoFundMe set up to support his family raised more than $6000.
“He was such a kind-hearted person who cared for everyone else but himself,” wrote organizer Jordyn Cooper. “He never deserved any of this. I’m making a GoFundMe help his family with any.
Tributes on social media described Tagaloa as “a great mate”. “Fly high my brother,” Kyle Rouvray wrote.
“RIP my bro thought and prayers go out to the family and friends in Brisbane, good times in school with the lad great mate went too soon,” said Kaleb Hart.
One woman wrote, “This is one of the hardest goodbyes I’ll have to say, I can’t believe I’m even writing this and I can’t even put into words how I’m feeling right now. You had my back since the day I met you, you were one person I could always rely on to be there for me no matter where or when, you’ve helped me and saved me so many times.”
