Chino Johnson: Four arrests made at Heathrow over Lambeth shooting

Four arrests made at Heathrow Airport over Lambeth shooting

Police investigating the fatal shooting of Chino Johnson in Lambeth have arrested a man on suspicion of murder at Heathrow Airport as he attempted to flee the UK.

Chino Johnson, 27, was shot dead outside a property in Ferrey Mews, Brixton, after two suspects riding a moped allegedly opened fire on people socialising at around 9pm on Sunday, September 12.

Two women, aged 26 and 29, sustained injuries that were not life threatening.

Four men were arrested at Heathrow Airport on Tuesday (September 21) as they tried to leave the UK.

Of the group, a 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and three men, aged 20, 22 and 24, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

All four remain in custody at a south London police station.

Police are continuing to appeal for information on Chino's murder.

The moped is described as light coloured – either white or silver – with a large black square box mounted on the rear and an L plate hanging down.

It is believed to be either a Yamaha NX or a model that looks similar.

After the shots were fired, the suspects fled the scene on the moped in the direction of Bennett Road and Dora Way.

Detective Chief Inspector Richard Leonard, from the Met's Specialist Crime Command who leads the investigation, said: "Despite four arrests having been made, I am still very keen to hear from anyone who has information relating to Chino's murder.

"If you know something, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please do the right thing and get in touch with us.

"If you do not wish to speak to police, you can also provide information 100 per cent anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers."
