A 14-year-old boy shot dead in south-east London has been named as Eghosa Ogbebor.

Officers received reports of a shooting on Lord Warwick Street, Woolwich, at about 15:40 BST on Thursday. The boy was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. His family has been informed, the Met said.

Two boys, aged 14 and 16, and an 18-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Detectives leading the inquiry have urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward as well as appealing for anyone who may have relevant CCTV or dashcam footage.

Det Chief Inspector Lucie Card said: "Our thoughts remain with the boy's family and loved ones.

"We are aware of the concern that this incident will cause the local community.

"We have already made three arrests and our investigation continues at pace. An increased police presence remains in the area."

London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said: "My thoughts are with the family, friends and wider community in Woolwich following the appalling fatal shooting of 14-year-old boy.

"There is absolutely no place for this heart-breaking violence.

"I remain in close contact with the Met who have been working around the clock - arrests have already been made and an investigation is under way.

"Residents will see an increase in police in the local area."
