💔 This photo was taken the day I last saw Rebecca. She was a beautiful woman who radiated positive energy and was dedicated to being the best version of herself for her kids. She also did so much to raise awareness of autism spectrum disorder. My heart goes out to her family 🕊️ https://t.co/Gfox6wlvzN pic.twitter.com/bs8uZBpi46

Taking a mum away from her kids because you don’t know how to behave. Shameful.
RIP Rebecca Ikumelo 🕊 https://t.co/HOUaKRoGsc

Reacting to the story, a man identified on Twitter as Troublemaker of Zion | WNCel said:
Rebecca Ikumelo should be home with her children prepping for Christmas. She wanted to end the year on a high like the rest of you, but because of shitty security, dumb ass police & wreckless behavior from people who couldn’t fucking behave, she was robbed of that & her life.
ToniSansaraMusic said: Man, this is so senseless. So sad for this woman’s family and children. People need to learn how to behave outside because this shouldn’t have been possible. RIP Rebecca Ikumelo.
And a man identified as The Compozers has this to say: Our prayers go out to Rebecca Ikumelo and her family. This shouldn’t happen to anyone!!
Melissa Pierce reacted by saying: All the people who turned up with no ticket and then tried to force your way in, you all have blood on your hands. There is no excuse, no excuse at all.
Rebecca Ikumelo lost her life due to your inconsideration. You all need to live with that for the rest of your lives.
