    A 32-year-old man has been charged with the murder of 16-year-old Lathaniel Burrell, shot dead near Stockwell Tube station in south London on Tuesday.

    Omar Prempeh, is alleged to have attacked Lathaniel in Paradise Road. He was charged on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said.

    Officers were called at around 3.21pm on Tuesday to the incident. Despite the efforts of paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance, Lathaniel was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Prempeh, of Stanstead Road, Forest Hill, south London, was arrested in Croydon on Friday morning and will appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

    Lathaniel’s family continued to be supported by specialist officers, Scotland Yard said.

    Detective chief inspector Sarah Lee said on Friday: “Our detectives are working hard to piece together the events of Tuesday afternoon and identify those responsible for killing Lathaniel.”

    Lathaniel’s relatives said he was a Manchester United fan who enjoyed playing Playstation 5 and had one sister.

    A woman who knew the boy’s mother described him as “very bright at school”.

    His uncle, Smikie, told the BBC Lathaniel was “loved by all his peers” and “was always smiling, he had that warm, infectious smile”.

    The MP for Vauxhall and Camberwell Green, Florence Eshalomi, shared her condolences on social media.

    “I’m very sad to hear of the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old boy earlier this afternoon near Stockwell. A life wasted,” she said.

    Ms Eshalomi added she had spoken to the police about the incident and encouraged anyone with information to get in touch with the police.

    Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 using the reference 4116/4MAR or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
