Boy arrested after man shot dead

Craig Brown was from the Shepherd's Bush area

A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in west London on Christmas Eve.

Craig Brown was shot in Loftus Road, Shepherd's Bush, as he unloaded his car after returning from a shopping trip.

A post-mortem examination on Friday confirmed the 20-year-old died from gunshot wounds.

Police said a boy was being held at a west London police station and that their inquiries into Mr Brown's murder were continuing.

Previously officers said they were looking for two men who made off on foot towards Queens Park Rangers Football Club after the shooting.

The killing is being investigated by Operation Trident, a team dedicated to tackling gun crime in the black community.

Police are still appealing for witnesses to the shooting to come forward.
