Junior Nkwelle, 15, was stabbed to death outside a block of flats on the Loughborough Estate in Brixton, south London, on Thursday evening.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, with police saying the killing was not believed to be gang-related.
Junior's mother, who wished to be known only as Stella, issued a short statement through the police last night pleading for anyone with information to tell officers.
Locals were shocked by the death as they gathered to inspect floral tributes placed outside Secker House in Minet Road
She said: "I would like all of the kids who saw what happened to my son to come forward and speak to the police.
"I am pleading with the parents to let their children do that, and to support their children in telling the truth. If they do not it could lead to this happening again one day."
Officers were called to reports of a disturbance on the Loughborough Estate in Brixton just before 9.25pm on Thursday and found the boy with serious stab wounds.
Comments have been turned off for legal reasons.
