The boy’s death comes just three months after another teenage boy lost his life to knife crime in Woolwich.
Daèjaun Campbell, 15, was fatally stabbed in September.
He was among 11 teenage boys who lost their lives to homicide in London in 2024.
One local mother, Kate, who also works nearby, told the she believed violent crimes like these seemed to be becoming “more and more common” in the area.
“It’s a bit daunting. I have a child, and I’m a bit afraid of walking up and down this road and even in this area in general; it’s becoming a bit dangerous,” she said.
“It’s so scary, and now these things are happening in broad daylight. It’s not nice.”
