"She was a deeply loved daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, friend and godmother, as well as being an amazing mum to her son, who meant the world to her. To her cousins, she was more like a sister – someone they could always turn to for love, laughter and support.

"Shanice was also due to graduate from university, a reflection of her determination, ambition and the bright future ahead of her.

"She could light up every room she walked in to with her infectious laugh, beautiful soul and magical aura. Shanice made people feel loved, safe and valued simply by being herself.

"She was truly one of a kind and she will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know and love her."

South Yorkshire Police are carrying out an extensive investigation and are appealing for anybody with information to come forward.
