A 17-year-old who was brutally stabbed to death during a broad daylight fight in west London has been pictured.
Keiron Charles, from East Acton, who had his 'whole life ahead of him', died after being stabbed at around 1.10pm yesterday on Erconwald Street, Shepherd's Bush.
Police were alerted to a brawl in the street on Saturday lunchtime, near the junction with Du Cane Road and Old Oak Common Lane, where they found two teenagers with stab wounds, Met Police said.
Two 16-year-old boys have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
One had been taken to hospital with stab injuries but was discharged and taken to custody.
The other fled the scene and was arrested in the early hours of this morning.
Police said they were not looking for anyone else in connection with the murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Gammampila, whose team is leading the investigation, said: 'This is an awful incident in which a teenager has lost his life.
'The thoughts of everyone in the Met remain with Keiron's family and loved ones as they begin to come to terms with their tragic loss.
'Detectives have worked around the clock to follow every possible available line of enquiry and I’m pleased that we have made two arrests as part of our early enquiries.
'While we are working hard to understand the exact circumstances, we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident at this stage.'
The force said Keiron's family are being supported by officers.
Police have appealed for anyone in the area between 1pm and 1.20pm or anyone who witnessed the stabbing.
'Keiron had his whole life ahead of him and any information might prove vital in achieving justice on behalf of his family,' DCI Gammampila added.
