A man has been charged with possession of a firearm and intent to pervert the course of justice following a fatal shooting in Camden.

Hicham Medjebour, 27 (13.03.1999), of Hazelbury Way, Camden, was arrested on Tuesday, 12 May and charged on Wednesday, 13 May. He will appear at Barkingside Magistrates Court on Thursday, 14 May.

It comes after Met officers executed a series of coordinated raids in the early hours of Tuesday morning at seven addresses in Camden, Islington, Enfield, Brentford and Brent.

Three other men, aged 32, 30 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder in relation to the death of Nahom Medhanie, 26, on Saturday, 28 March. They have since been bailed.

Officers were called to reports of gunshots at approximately 23.00hrs on Saturday, 28 March on Chalton Street.

Despite the work of paramedics, Nahom was sadly 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.

Nahom’s family, who are being supported by specialist officers, said in a tribute:

“Nahom was more than a son and a brother to us and since his passing it has been the hardest days of our lives.

“He was funny, honest and would just light up the room with his presence and that’s what we loved most about him.”

His family has asked for privacy at this time.
