People who knew Rhamero - known as 'Mero' - said he was 'always smiling'.
Rhamero was found with horrific injuries on Norton Street, Old Trafford, just before 6pm on Thursday (September 9).
It is understood he was attacked by two 'unknown men' following a chase through Moss Side, Manchester, into neighbouring Trafford.
Rhamero suffered stab wounds. He was taken to hospital, where he sadly later died.
No arrests have been made.
Flowers were left on Norton Street on Friday afternoon.
One tribute read: "Heartbroken and lost for words.
"Mero, you will be dearly missed."
Tanya Cheetham told the Manchester Evening News her three children went to Wilbraham Primary School in Fallowfield with Rhamero.
She said he was 'popular' and 'amazing at sports'.
"He was a great kid," she said.
"Really funny and always had us in stitches. My kids adored him, as did I.
"The best memories I have of him are always beating all of the kids on sports day at anything he took part in - and his smile was so bright and beautiful. He was always smiling.
"He was kind, loving and everybody liked him."
Another friend, who grew up with Rhamero described him as 'lovely, always happy and always smiling'.
Detectives are still piecing together exactly what happened in the lead up to his death. They believe he was in a car being chased.
Police believe he was in the vehicle with other people, who are still being traced.
Four cordons were in place overnight.
One covered a large section of Princess Street and a small section of Great Western Street in Moss Side, where cops were trying to establish where the chase started.
Another cordon was up on Norton Street in Old Trafford, where Rhamero was found badly injured.
A third was erected nearby on Upper Chorlton Road, where a blue BMW was recovered after appearing to have crashed; and a fourth was seen on Cross Street, where somebody was hit by a car a short time later.
The pedestrian's injuries are not believed to be serious.
Forensic officers are combing each scene for evidence.
Last night, Detective Superintendent Danny Inglis from GMP's Serious Crime Division, said: "First and foremost, our thoughts are with the victim's family at this incredibly sad time, they are being supported by our specialist officers.
"This is an horrific incident, where a young man has tragically lost his life, and we are following a number of lines of inquiry to establish exactly what has happened, and to bring those responsible to justice.
"We know this happened at a time of day when people would still be out and about or returning home, and we're keen to hear from anyone who may have information that could help our investigation, no matter how small it may seem."
Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for further comment.
Anyone with information, dashcam or CCTV footage is asked to call 101 quoting log number 2613, September 9; or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
