London: A 17-year-old male shot in the head in a street in Camden, north London, on Saturday night has died, Scotland Yard said on Thursday.
Sharmaarke Hassan died at a north London hospital late on Wednesday, making him the 15th teenager to be murdered in the capital this year. Last year 26 teenagers were either shot or stabbed.
The shooting happened on the same night that 18-year-old actor Rob Knox, who had a small part in the upcoming film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was stabbed during a fight outside a pub in Sidcup, Kent.
There remains no clear motive for Hassan's shooting, but media reports at the time said it could have been a reprisal for an earlier shooting in Archway, north London.
No arrests have been made.
