He tragically died at the scene.

Roger Critchell, director of operations at Crimestoppers, said: “This is a tragic loss of a young man’s life.

"James was shot dead late at night on a quiet residential street in north London.

“This has caused great distress to his family and the wider community which is why I would ask anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.

"We don’t ask for any personal details, you won’t have to speak to the police, and you won’t have to go to court. Just tell us what you know, not who you are.”

Detective chief inspector Nicola Wall, with the Metropolitan Police, said: “We are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area to come forward and speak to us.

“There may have been pedestrians or motorists in the area passing through at the time of the shooting or witnesses who hold a valuable piece of information.

“I would urge them to come forward as soon as possible.”

James Owusu found with gunshot injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives from the homicide and major crime command are investigating and no arrests have been made.

Police planned to return to the scene of the murder on Wednesday (November 9) to speak with local residents.
