A teenager has been charged with murder after a man was fatally shot in an alleyway near his home.
Gabriel Charles, 19, of Lympstone Gardens, Southwark, was charged with the murder of 20-year-old Jesse Lloyd-Smith in Peckham, south-east London.
He is expected to appear at Willesden Magistrates’ court on Friday, Scotland Yard said.
A 17-year-old boy was charged with murder on August 2, while four other people have been charged with perverting the course of justice.
Mr Lloyd-Smith was with some others when a gunman opened fire five times in East Surrey Grove shortly before 5pm on July 10.
The bullets hit the victim’s head and arms causing unsurvivable injuries from which he died the next day.
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Gammampila, whose team is leading the investigation, said: “Our team remains resolute in securing justice and we need the public’s help to do so.
“I am grateful to all those who have come forward so far but would ask anyone with information – no matter how insignificant you think it might be – to get in contact as this could prove to be crucial.
“We believe that the answers to this shooting remain within the community in Peckham and whilst I appreciate it may be difficult, now is the time to do the right thing.
“Anyone who doesn’t want to speak directly can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.”
Mr Lloyd-Smith’s sister Chaise and godmother Sam said: “It’s been over four months without Jesse and we believe that there are still people living within this community who are sitting on the truth.
“Now is the time to come forward.
“Our family has continued to grieve Jesse and we are appealing for your help to give us answers.
“Please, if you know anything or remember anything from the evening of 10 July, no matter how small the information may seem, contact the police or Crimestoppers.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
