Police have named the man who was shot dead at a south London bus stop at the weekend as Daniel Famakinwa.

The 20-year-old, from Manor Park, east London, was found at the bus stop at Waylett Place, West Norwood around 4:15am on Saturday.

He had suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and was taken to hospital, where he later died.

Three men were arrested near the scene and were taken to south London police stations for questioning. However, they have now all been released without charge.
