Tyler Roberts-Emmanuel, 18, of no fixed address, was arrested on Friday and is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Saturday charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, the Metropolitan Police said.

Mr Graham’s family are being supported by police liaison officers.

His friend Luke Wilson told the Evening Standard: “I have lost my best friend. I’m devastated.

“This is so depressing for future generations. If people like Shaq are getting killed there’s no hope.

“Some people live on the edge and become dangerously involved in gangs … my friend was not one of those.”
