Nathan Foster, 18, was found by police with bullet wounds in Marcus Garvey Way on Friday night.

He was with a group of 10 or 11 youths when they were approached by a man on a motorbike who opened fire.

The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was remanded in custody until 15 August.

He will appear next at Balham Youth Court.

A boy, 14, has been released on police bail.
