A fifth person has been charged with murder following the shooting of a 24-year-old man.

Detectives continue to investigate the death of Kai McGinley in Erith, who died last month after he was shot in the street.

Police were called at around 8.50pm on Thursday, February 9, to reports of shots being fired on Pembroke Road.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found Kai suffering from a gunshot wound.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services to save him, the 24-year-old died at the scene.

Kai Osibodu, 23, of Riverdale Road, Erith, was arrested yesterday (March 17) and has now been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

He is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court today.

Four people have previously been charged in connection with the shooting.

There have also been three other arrests as part of the investigation into Mr McGingley's death.
