| Man murdered in Stockwell motorbike shooting | |
| (about 6 hours later) | |
| A man has been murdered in what is thought to be a ride-by shooting near Stockwell Tube station in south London. | |
| The victim, aged 24, was targeted by two men on a motorbike as he stood on the pavement in Clapham Road on Tuesday night. | |
| Police said he suffered gunshot wounds and died in hospital. Officers followed the bike into Binfield Road but were unable to stop it. | |
| Two men, aged 19 and 21, were later arrested by murder squad detectives. | |
| The shooting happened outside Richardson Court, near the junction with Stockwell Road, at 2330 BST. | |
| 'High speed' | |
| Police said a dark-coloured motorcycle carrying two men wearing dark clothing and helmets crossed Clapham Road from the direction of the Stockwell Gardens Estate. | |
| Following the shooting a marked police van pursued the bike which travelled into Binfield Road and on towards Battersea. | |
| An area around the scene remains cordoned off as officers investigate the murder. | |
| Det Ch Insp Neil Hutchison appealed for witnesses to contact police. | |
| "I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen the motorcycle travelling at high speed towards the Battersea area." | |
| Two months ago a five-year-old girl and a 35-year-old man were critically injured during a shooting in a nearby shop. |
