Two arrests have been made following the fatal stabbing of a 23-year-old man near a London underground station while filming a music video.
The Metropolitan Police said a 17-year-old male and an 18-year-old male were arrested on Thursday in connection with the death of Shane Jerome near Brixton Underground station on July 21.
Police, the London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance gave treatment to Mr Jerome, but he was pronounced dead at 8.45pm at the scene.
Both men are in custody at a police station in south London, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The man, named online as Shane Jerome, was fatally knifed amid chaotic scenes on Brixton High Street in south London and was pronounced dead at the scene of the attack by emergency services at 8.45pm

The family of Mr Jerome, who lived in Thornton Heath, Croydon, are being supported by specialist officers.
An onlooker told the BBC the incident had involved a number of high-end cars, including a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a black Range Rover and two quad bikes.
The witness said: 'A convoy of cars and quad bikes suddenly turned on one another, leading to one man being stabbed and others involved in a fist fight before running off on foot and by vehicle.
Police and emergency crews descended on Brixton's high street following reports of an assault and found a man suffering from stab wounds in the road opposite the area's underground station
'The front of the convoy was a black Range Rover, which had a driver that wore a balaclava, and men sitting in the boot of the car, with the boot door open. There was also a red Ferrari and lime green Lamborghini, as well as two quad bikes. One of the quads ended up beached on the pavement.
'The man who was stabbed was lying in the middle of the road, with an ambulance on scene instantly, where the man was receiving CPR right away but looked lifeless. Another man who was wearing a balaclava and ski goggles, accompanied by a woman, ran to the victim screaming.'
A security guard, who works at a store near where the stabbing took place, said: 'One of our customers said the victim had been shooting a music video with two Lamborghini sports cars involved, but people saw it and got jealous.
'They were just young teenagers making a video and then some kids of similar age attacked them. It was a music video about Brixton which mentions the market so that's why they had decided to shoot it here.'
Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn, who is leading the investigation, said: 'It has been just over a week since Shane tragically lost his life.
'These arrests mark significant progress with our investigation and I hope it brings some reassurance to both Shane's family and the wider community that my team are working around the clock to bring justice for his murder.
'I continue to urge anyone who was in the area and who may have seen anything, or have footage on their phone or dashcam, to please contact us.
Metropolitan Police were called to an incident near Brixton tube station at around 8.45pm tonight where they found a man in his 20s suffering from a stab wound
'I am asking anyone with any information to call police via 101 quoting reference Cad 7056/21Jul. To remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
The investigation is ongoing and will be dealt with by officers in the Met's Specialist Crime Command.
