8-year-old boy's dream to meet Lionel Messi tragically cut short after being shot on a farm.
The parents of eight-year-old Jay Cartmell are devastated after their son was tragically killed while on a farm. They fondly remember their "perfect little boy" and have nothing but kind words to say about him.

The incident occurred on a farm in Warcop, Cumbria last Saturday afternoon. Jay was rushed to the hospital, but sadly did not survive. A man in his 60s was arrested in connection with the incident, but has since been released on bail.

The farm where the tragedy took place is located near the busy A66 highway and the small village of Warcop, which has a population of less than 500 people. Jay's parents describe the area as "very, very rural."

Jay was a bright and energetic young boy who loved playing football and dreamed of one day meeting his idol, Lionel Messi. His parents, Leigha and James Cartmell, remember him as a loving and mischievous child who brought so much joy into their lives.

"He was the best boy anyone could wish for and completed our beautiful family 'triangle'," they said.

Jay had a passion for the outdoors and enjoyed getting muddy while exploring. He also shared his father's love for speedway and often visited Workington to watch the races. He even had the opportunity to meet his local heroes, Harry and Sam McGurk, who he would fist bump in excitement.

In addition to his love for football and speedway, Jay also enjoyed fishing and rabbiting with his father. He also took great care of the family's pets, which included four lurchers, five ferrets, and his very own bearded dragon named Spike. He received Spike as a reward for his hard work in school.

Speaking of school, Jay was a talented student, particularly in math. He had many friends who adored him and always had a smile on his face. His parents say that he was loved not only by them, but by everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.

"We will miss him every day, but his love will always be with us and his memory will never fade," his parents shared.

Leigha and James also expressed their gratitude to the emergency services and doctors who did everything they could to save their son. They also thanked the locals, including Jay's football team, for their generous donations and support during this difficult time.
