Two men have been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a 17-year-old boy who died following a shooting in north London.

Tyler McDermott died on Friday afternoon after an incident in Tottenham in the early hours of Thursday.

Police arrested two 19-year-olds on Saturday.

An investigation was launched after police were called to reports of an injured man in Norman Road.

Officers found Mr McDermott suffering from a gunshot injury. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead the following day.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John said: "These two arrests demonstrate the progress our investigation is making. However, there is still significant work to do to identify those involved in Tyler's murder.

"There were a large number of people in the area at the time of Tyler's murder and I am reiterating my appeal to anyone who was there, or who has information about this incident, to contact police immediately."

The two individuals remain in custody at a north London police station.
