A 19-year-old has been charged and two other men arrested in relation to a drive-by shooting outside a funeral in a central London church.
Alrico Nelson Martin, from Kilburn, north-west London, will appear at Willesden Magistrates’ Court today accused of six counts of conspiracy to wound with intent and possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life.
Two other men, aged 22 and 23, were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, the Metropolitan Police said.
Six people – four women and two girls aged 11 and seven – were shot outside a funeral at St Aloysius Church in Phoenix Road, Euston, on 14 January.
None suffered life-threatening injuries but one of the women, aged 48, remains in hospital.
The memorial service was a Requiem Mass for 20-year-old Sara Sanchez and her mother, Fresia Calderon, 50, who died within weeks of each other.
