Police investigating the fatal shooting of a man in west London on Christmas Eve have arrested two more people - one a 15-year-old boy.

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 confirmed the 20-year-old died from gunshot wounds.

A boy of 16 was arrested on Saturday and police now say they are holding two more suspects, a man of 24 and the 15-year-old.

All are being questioned at a west London police station.

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.
