A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a teenager shot dead in north London this week.

Mohammed Hussein, 19, was found collapsed in Bounces Road, Edmonton, at 9.45pm on Monday. A postmortem examination found he died of a shotgun wound to the chest.

Police said a 20-year-old man had been arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of murder and remained in custody at an east London police station. A spokesman said officers were keeping an open mind about the circumstances of the incident and any motive.

After the shooting, neighbours ran to help and paramedics tried for half an hour to save Hussein before he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jordan Simbananiye, 18, said: "They spent about 20 or 30 minutes trying to resuscitate him but then after about half an hour they put a blanket over him."
