A man stumbled into the road and collapsed after he was stabbed in the chest and back, an inquest heard.
Suhayb Abdulkadir, 24, died at the scene of the stabbing in Leyton in the early hours of April 23.
His family described him as a “dutiful son” who “lit up every room he entered”.
An inquest was opened into his death at East London Coroner’s Court, Walthamstow, on Thursday (May 7).
Coroner’s officer Jean Smyth said Suhayb was born in London and lived in Leyton.
Summarising the circumstances of the death referral, Ms Smyth said: “On April 23, police were called to High Road near the junction with St Georges Road in Leytonstone after reports of an altercation between a group of males.
“Mr Abdulkadir was seen to stumble into the road where he collapsed. He was found to have multiple stab wounds.”
Emergency services had been called to the scene at 12.40am and he was pronounced dead by helicopter emergency services at 1.11am.
A provisional cause of death has been given as shock and haemorrhage caused by stab wounds to the chest and back.
Area coroner Nadia Persaud said: “I’m satisfied on those facts that this death took place in circumstances requiring an inquest.”
The full inquest will take place at a later date, following the conclusion of criminal proceedings.
Four men were arrested the same day on suspicion of murder, with two suspects now charged.
Abdullahi Abdi, 24, of Lincoln Street in Leytonstone, and Hanet Ahmed, 25, were charged with murder.
Suhayb's family has shared a touching tribute to the 24-year-old.
They said: “Suhayb lit up every room he entered and put a smile on the faces of even those who did not know him.
"He was an amazing uncle to his niece, honourable brother to his siblings and dutiful son to his mother."
