Four men have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder after a fatal shooting in Camden.

Four men, aged 27, 32, 30 and 27, were arrested on Tuesday in relation to the death of Nahom Medhanie, 26, on 28 March.

The arrests followed a series of raids in the early hours of the morning at seven addresses in Camden, Islington, Enfield, Brentford and Brent.

During the raids, officers found suspected illegal substances at three of the locations. Three further men, aged 24, 26 and 29, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply controlled drugs.

Det Ch Insp Joanna Yorke, who is leading the investigation, said: "Nahom's murder was a shocking and calculated act which has caused considerable concern in the local community.

"Our thoughts remain with Nahom's family at this difficult time."

Officers were called to reports of gunshots at approximately 23:00 GMT on 28 March on Chalton Street. Nahom was pronounced dead at the scene.

CCTV enquiries showed that he was shot several times while sitting in a white Nissan Juke by the suspect, who arrived and left on a bike, the Met said.
