Murder detectives have arrested five people including a 14-year-old in connection with the fatal shooting of Sharmake Mohamud.

Mr Mohamud, 22, was shot dead by a bus stop in Green Lanes, Haringey, on September 21.

He suffered multiple gunshot wounds after a man armed with a handgun got out of a Jaguar car and opened fire, a court heard.

A passing moped rider was shot in the buttock and another man suffered gunshot wounds to the legs.

Officers carried out warrants across north and east London arresting five men, aged between 14 and 24, on suspicion of murder and attempted murder on Thursday.

They have been taken to north London police stations where they remain in custody.

Mr Mohamud was found at the scene with gunshot injuries and despite the efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Four men, all aged in their early 20s, were arrested on suspicion of murder the day after the shooting.

All four have now been released with no further action.

A fifth man has been charged with murder.

Ali Ceesay, 28, appeared before Judge Simon Mayo QC at the Old Bailey by video link from Wormwood Scrubs.

The judge set a plea hearing for January 17, 2022, and remanded him into custody.

Members of Mr Mohamud’s family sat in the back of Court One of the Old Bailey for the short hearing.

Enquiries into the circumstances continue; anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to call police on 101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC. Please quote CAD 8093/21Sep.
