Detective Chief Inspector Mark Rogers, of the Metropolitan Police said: “We believe that there was a fight following a birthday party, which would have been attended by a number of people.
“I would
urge anyone who was there, and who has not yet spoken with officers, to please
come forward. It is vital that we establish what happened.
According
to report, a teenager has been stabbed to death in a street fight in front of
party-goers in north-west London.
The murder
investigation has been launched after the boy, 17, died at the scene in
Granville Road, Brent, at around 11.30pm on Friday following a busy birthday
party.
Another
male, also believed to be 17, was taken to hospital, as was a woman in her
early 20s, who suffered a hand injury.
“I would
also ask that anyone who may have captured any of last night’s events on their
phone to also contact officers.”
The
teenager’s family has been informed but no arrests have yet been made.
Chief
Superintendent Dan Knowles said: “I know that the community will be shocked by
this incident in which a young man has lost his life.
“We shall
be working with our colleagues from Specialist Crime to ensure that this
investigation proceeds as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
“Local
residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the area and I
would encourage anyone with information, or concerns, to speak with them.”
