Local MP Greg Hands described the death as "truly awful", saying his thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim.

'A soul we need'

Tyrell Logan, 18, said Mr Solomon was his "close friend since primary school" and a "good guy".

Mr Logan said: "He was a friend you could always count on. If you can't afford something, he's there for you, if you can't do something, he'll do it for you - that's how he works, that was his moral in life.

"He had just got his first car, and he drove everyone about, everyone has videos in the car with him, everyone is happy, everyone is living life. Now he's gone, I don't know what we're going to do.

"We're all going to be missing a soul that we all need - he's part of the mantelpiece, part of our foundation."

It is the third murder investigation to be launched in London in the last seven days following the deaths of Lavaun Witter, 22, in Croydon and Sven Badzak, 22, in Kilburn.
