Two teenagers have been arrested after a 17-year-old was shot dead in the head.
Tyler McDermott was found suffering from a gunshot injury in the early hours of April 13 in Tottenham, North London.
He was rushed to hospital suffering life-threatening injuries and sadly died on Friday afternoon.
Metropolitan Police today arrested two young men, both aged 19, on suspicion of murder.
They remain in custody at a north London police station.
Police are still apealing for information about what happened saying there were "a large number of people in the area" at the time Tyler was shot.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, leads the investigation and said: “These two arrests demonstrate the progress our investigation is making. However, there is still significant work to do to identify those involved in Tyler’s murder.
“There were a large number of people in the area at the time of Tyler’s murder and I am reiterating my appeal to anyone who was there, or who has information about this incident, to contact police immediately.”
His family continue to be supported by specialist officers.
A special post-mortem examination is scheduled to take place at Poplar Mortuary tomorrow.
Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD 883/13Apr.
