A man has been charged with murder after the shooting of a Stratford man in Bethnal Green earlier this month.

Bobby Lawrence, 21, of Canonbury Street, Islington, has been charged with killing Jordan Bari on October 3, as well as possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence.

He will appear in custody at Thames Magistrates' Court later today (Friday, October 14).

Mr Bari was killed in Florida Street, Bethnal Green, during a shooting at a block of flats.

Detectives believe a gunman opened fire on the 20-year-old as he answered to door at a property in the street.

A 28-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of murder earlier this morning in connection with the killing and remains in custody at a north London police station.

Two men, aged 29 and 21, were arrested at the scene of Mr Bari's death, but were subsequently released with no further action.
