A 29-year-old man who was stabbed to death in Camden has been named and pictured by the police.
Met Police officers were called by the London Ambulance Service to the scene at the Abbey Estate near St John's Wood just after 7.30pm on Friday.
Ahmed Jama, who lived in the borough, was found injured and given first aid by paramedics at the scene.
He was then taken to hospital but died later that evening.
The day after the stabbing parts of the estate, near the capital's famous Abbey Road, remained cordoned off amid a heavy police presence as "scared" neighbours watched on.
Officers with torches appeared to be searching for something, with some using a ladder to peer over walls and into nearby gardens.
Felicia Adarkwa, 65, who lives on the estate, told the PA news agency: "I heard a noise, there were arguments. I was going to pop the window but something told me not to."There was heavy noise, there was shouting, boys and girls. I didn't watch them. They were arguing.
"Really sad. It's horrible."
Sheila Gallagher, 69, said she was watching television in her flat when she noticed police were on the estate.
"I was watching the soaps and I didn't hear a sound and then I came out and saw all the police around, that was after 9pm," she said.
"I looked out of my kitchen window and saw police. It's a bit scary."
No arrests have been made and Mr Jama’s family continue to be supported by specialist officers.
A post-mortem examination is expected to take place in the coming days.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Rawlinson, who is leading the investigation, said: "We would like to speak to anyone who either witnessed the stabbing or has information about who was responsible.
"Ahmed’s family are starting their New Year devastated by their loss. If you have any information that could help our investigation please get in touch."
