A 17-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a teenager who was shot in north London.

Keanu Harker, 18, was found with gunshot injuries on Great Cambridge Road in Enfield at about 20:45 BST last Thursday and died in hospital.

The boy, who cannot be named due to his age, is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court later on Tuesday.

Another suspect, aged 24, is being held in police custody after being arrested on Monday on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. Several lines of inquiry are active, the Metropolitan Police says.

"We are working at pace to ensure that those responsible for Keanu's death are held to account."
