In the early hours of Tuesday, investigators from the Metropolitan Police arrested five men aged between 18 and 24, a 16-year-old boy and a 35-year-old woman on suspicion of murder.

Detective chief inspector Wayne Jolley, who is on the specialist crime team and who leads the investigation, said;

This is a significant development in the investigation, however we will not be complacent. We will continue to work hard to make sure those responsible are brought to justice. I believe this murder to have been a case of mistaken identity, perpetrated recklessly and with no regard whatsoever for human life.

Alexander’s death is a tragic reminder that carrying a gun has devastating consequences, I urge anyone with information to come forward and speak with us. We will continue to work hard to make sure those responsible are brought to justice.
