Keaton Slater recalled when an emotional message appears on Coventry Buzz Bingo

An emotional message has appeared on a building in Coventry following the tragic death of Keaton Slater. It was painted on Buzz Bingo on Radford Road.

On a blue background, the message “RIP Keaton. PUSB’ was painted on the side of the building on Radford Road. Father Clint Slater said he wished “heart and respect” to the person behind the touching gesture, which many described as “beautiful”.

Young Keaton, who loved the Sky Blues, was killed after being hit by a BMW on Radford Road on Friday, June 14. He suffered catastrophic injuries and died at the scene, West Midlands Police said.

Tributes to 12-year-old Keaton have been placed at the scene of the tragedy on Radford Road. Coventry flowers and crests and flags were draped on a wall near the site of the fatal collision.

Hundreds of people gathered on Radford Common on Friday, June 21, for a vigil to mark a week since 12-year-old Keaton’s death. Balloons were released as people remembered the young Sky Blues fan, who loved ones described as “fun-loving”.

Detectives continue to hunt for Dolars Aleksanders, who is suspected of being the driver of the BMW when it hit Keaton on Radford Road. He is wanted on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

It’s been a little over two weeks since the tragedy happened, and Aleksanders has still not been caught. Today, West Midlands Police told CoventryLive that inquiries to find the 21-year-old Latvian are “continuing”.

Parents Louise and Clint Slater shared their grief at their youngest son’s death, saying they “need to get justice” for Keaton. In a statement, they urged Aleksanders to come forward and “do the right thing”.

Mum Louise said: ‘Hearing that whoever did this won’t turn themselves in has left us all feeling helpless and we have to get justice for Keaton. Please, if anyone knows anything about his whereabouts, please come forward.”

Anyone with information was urged to call 999 quoting log 3407 of June 14 or email: [email protected]. Alternatively, they can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
