A 15-year-old boy who was shot dead in a west London park has been named.

The Metropolitan Police said Rene Graham was killed in Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance Park, Ladbroke Grove, at around 7.20pm on Sunday.

Four men – two aged 21 and the others aged 20 and 25 – were arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody.

Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah said: “A young boy has tragically lost his life and our thoughts remain with his family and friends at this devastating time. We will continue to provide them with specialist support.

“I understand that the public, especially those who live and work in the area, will be shocked and concerned by this incident. All of us at the Met share that concern and we are using all of the resources at our disposal to identify those involved.

“This investigation is at an early stage and we are keeping an open mind as to the motive. It will take us some time to establish the facts and this will be our priority in the coming days.”

The Met Police said it initially said six people were arrested but this was incorrect.
