A murder investigation has been launched after an 18-year-old was killed in a shooting in North London.
Officers and paramedics were called to the scene at 8:45pm on Thursday to reports of gunshots fired on Great Cambridge Road, Enfield.
The Met Police discovered the victim with gunshot injuries, and he later died in hospital.
His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
No arrests have been made at this early stage, the force added.
Detective Chief Superintendent Caroline Haines said the police presence in the area will be increased over the next few days.
"I am saddened to hear that a young man lost his life last night," she said.
"My thoughts are with his family and friends who will be processing this news today.
"We want to reassure the community that this appears to be an isolated incident and a thorough investigation is under way."
A crime scene remains in place and Great Cambridge Road will stay closed while enquiries continue.
