Greater Manchester Police were called to Moss Side after a “disturbance involving a number of people”.
Paramedics tragically pronounced the teenager dead at the scene.
Cops arrested a boy, aged 15, on suspicion of murder, who has now been charged with the offence.
This comes after Mohanad’s devastated family released a heartbreaking tribute.
In a statement released by the force, they said: “Mohanad was our 15-year-old son, and a younger sibling to his sister and brother.
“Mohanad was the baby of the family, he was quick to laugh, easy to love, with a ready smile.
“Our son had an uncanny ability to make you laugh, making it sometimes difficult to be serious with him.
“Mohanad had many friends, he was loyal and often played the class clown, simply to see them laugh.
“Mohanad’s life has been cut tragically short, it is difficult to comprehend that seeing your son head off for school in the morning, would be the last time that we would see that handsome face.
“Mohanad deserves to be remembered for the young man who was loved by his family, and loved big in return, not as the boy whose life was taken with no thought or reason.
“We will not allow his name to be known as yet another statistic in the rise of knife crime.
“Remember Mohanad with love in your heart and a kind word on your lips.”
A GMP spokesperson said: “A 15-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been charged with murder following the death of another 15-year-old boy in Manchester earlier this week.
“As part of our investigation, ongoing enquiries have identified a potentially linked prior incident that we responded to at Whitworth Park shortly before 4pm – half an hour before the victim’s death.
“We have referred our response to this incident to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) as a mandatory referral.
“At around 4.30pm on Monday 15 September, officers responded to a disturbance in the area of Moss Lane East and Monton Street. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, Mohanad Abdullaahi Goobe sadly died later that evening.”
Chief Superintendent David Meeney, from the City of Manchester district, said: “Our thoughts remain with Mohanad’s family at this time and we are focused on getting all the answers for them.
“As a result of prior contact before Mohanad’s death, we have made a mandatory referral to the IOPC. We have kept the family updated and continue to support them.
“Our investigators have been working around the clock and during this investigation we have undertaken several warrants in relation to this incident as part of our commitment to getting justice for Mohanad and his family.
“Our Major Incident Portal remains open and we are keen for anyone who has information relation to this incident to please come forward.”
