Detectives at the scene of the shooting on Great Cambridge Road in June

A third person has been arrested following the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Keanu Harker in Enfield last month.

Keanu was fatally shot on the evening of Thursday, 26th June, in Great Cambridge Road on the border of Bush Hill Park and Southbury. He died the same night from his injuries in hospital.

A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with murder, while Eliezer Mbaki, aged 24 and of Oulton Road, Tottenham, was charged with perverting the course of justice.

Officers investigating the attack have now also arrested, but not yet charged, a third person on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. The 17-year-old was taken to a police station and was subsequently bailed pending further enquiries.

It comes after detectives executed warrants at two addresses in Enfield last Thursday (24th).

A trial has been scheduled to take place at the Old Bailey, starting on 18th May 2026.

Anyone with information about the incident is still urged to call police on 101 or message @MetCC on X quoting CAD 8393/26JUN. To remain anonymous, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit crimestoppers-uk.org.
