The 17-year-old is the 15th teenager to be killed in London since the start of the year. | The 17-year-old is the 15th teenager to be killed in London since the start of the year. |
'Open mind' | |
Sharmaarke was found guilty of possessing cannabis and offering to supply the drugs last month, the Crown Prosecution Service said. | |
He was given a one-year community punishment order and ordered to do 40 hours of community service following the conviction. | |
Police believe Sharmaarke was a member of The Money Squad, one of a number of Somali gangs in the area, but have said they are keeping an open mind about the motive for the killing. | |
The CPS said Sharmaarke had convictions for breaching the terms of an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (Asbo) banning alleged gang members from Camden, and for stealing a £2,000 Cartier watch. | |
The Asbo was imposed on 2 November and banned the teenager from Buck Street in Camden, less than half a mile from where he was shot. | |
Sharmaarke broke the Asbo the day after receiving it. | |
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of his death as a gunshot wound to the head. | |
The arrested teenager is in custody at a north London police station. |
