A second teenager has been arrested in London over the murder of a man who was shot after a Christmas Eve shopping trip, police said today.

Craig Brown, 20, was shot at 4.50pm on Loftus Road, Shepherd's Bush, Hammersmith, west London, and pronounced dead at the scene by the ambulance service.

Scotland Yard last night arrested two more suspects - a 15-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man.

A 16-year-old boy who was arrested earlier yesterday remains in police custody. All three are being questioned at police stations in west London.

A post-mortem examination at Fulham Mortuary confirmed the victim died of gunshot wounds.
Mr Brown had returned from a shopping trip and had parked his car in Loftus Road, police said.

He was approached by two men as he unloaded goods from the car. He was shot before the men made off on foot towards Queens Park Rangers' football ground.
