Four arrested over fatal shooting in Camden

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder following a fatal shooting in Camden.

Met officers executed a series of coordinated raids in the early hours of Tuesday, 12 May at seven addresses in Camden, Islington, Enfield, Brentford and Brent.

Four men, aged 27, 32, 30 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder in relation to the death of Nahom Medhanie, 26, on Saturday, 28 March.

In searches of the seven addresses, officers located a quantity of suspected illegal substances at three of the locations. Three further men, aged 24, 26 and 29, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply controlled drugs.

Officers were called to reports of gunshots at approximately 23.00hrs on Saturday, 28 March on Chalton Street.

Despite the work of paramedics, Nahom was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

CCTV enquiries showed that he was shot several times while sitting in a white Nissan Juke by the suspect, who arrived and left on a bike.

Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke, who is leading the investigation, said: "Nahom’s murder was a shocking and calculated act which has caused considerable concern in the local community.

"Officers will continue to act decisively as we work to tackle incidents of serious violence across London.

"Our thoughts remain with Nahom's family at this difficult time."

Nahom’s family, who are being supported by specialist officers, said in a tribute:

“Nahom was more than a son and a brother to us and since his passing it has been the hardest days of our lives.

“He was funny, honest and would just light up the room with his presence and that’s what we loved most about him.”

His family has asked for privacy at this time.
