A man has been charged with the murder of Shane Jerome.

Brandon Aldon McNeil,18, was charged with murder, attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon in a private place on Friday, July 30.

He is due to appear before Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, July 31.

Mr Jerome, 23, from Thornton Heath, was attacked at around 8.20pm on Wednesday, July 21.

Paramedics raced to the scene but despite their best efforts, he was pronounced dead at around 8.45pm.

Locals said Mr Jerome had been riding a quad bike for a music video outside a chicken restaurant in Brixton market when he was attacked.

His family are being supported by specialist officers as the investigation into the circumstances continues, the Met said.

Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn, who is leading the investigation, said: "Brixton Road near to the Tube station is a busy area of London and there were many people in the street, on buses and in cars yesterday evening.

"We have spoken to a number of witnesses already and I am asking for anyone who was in the area and who may have seen anything, or have footage on their phone or dash cam, to please contact us.”
