TRIBUTES have been paid to a dad who was killed in Glasgow's Southside.
We previously reported that a murder inquiry was launched following the death of Kevin John Kennedy, also known as Kevin Jamieson.
Cops were called to Cornwall Street South in Kinning Park at around 11.30pm on Wednesday night, having received a report of a man with "serious injuries".
The 36-year-old was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth University hospital where he was pronounced dead.
His sister paid tribute to "the best brother".
She wrote: "Not got any words at all, tonight my big brother Kevin Kennedy passed away.
"My heart is in total pieces and I cannot put into words how much this has torn our family apart.
"It still doesn’t even feel real, I hope wherever you are, you're at peace and looking down on us all. Kev you really were my best friend and enemy all in one and there will never ever be a day that you are forgotten, I promise. I love you with all my heart, fly high."
Meanwhile, Kevin's friend wrote: "RIP bud, another took too soon. My thoughts are wae family at this heartbreaking time. Kev was a good mate of mines, also many many memories and occasionally a wee phone call at half two in the morning as yae do. Rest easy Kev."
