A 16-year-old boy from Romford has been charged with the murder of 14-year-old Eghosa Ogbebor, who was shot dead near Woolwich Dockyard train station in south-east London last week, the Metropolitan Police has said.
The teenager, who was first arrested on 4 April and released on bail before being re-arrested on 9 April, will appear at Thames Magistrates Court on Saturday 11 April. Another 16-year-old arrested on suspicion of murder on Friday remains in custody.
Police were called at 3.40pm on 2 April to reports of a shooting in Woolwich. Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found Eghosa with serious injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Eghosa's family continue to be supported by specialist officers, the Met said. Six others arrested in connection with the killing—boys aged 14, 16 and 16, and men aged 18, 19 and 46—have been bailed pending further inquiries.
The shooting occurred on a residential street close to Woolwich Dockyard train station. Anyone with information or footage is urged to call police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
