A man in his 20s has died after being shot and stabbed in north London.

The Metropolitan police were called at about 12.40am on Saturday to reports of shots fired in South Street, Enfield.



Officers attended along with the London ambulance service and found two seriously injured men, both aged in their early 20s.

One man was found with stab injuries and a suspected gunshot wound and was declared dead at the scene at 1.14am, the Met said. His next of kin have been informed, although formal identification is yet to take place. A postmortem will be held and a murder investigation has been launched.

The second victim was found with stab injuries. He was taken to an east London hospital, where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

There have been no arrests and inquiries continue.



The attack comes after two men were shot dead in London in separate incidents earlier this month. A murder investigation was launched after a 20-year-old was killed in Forest Road in Walthamstow on Wednesday night.

This came a week after 19-year-old Kelvin Odunuyi was shot dead outside a Vue cinema in Wood Green, north London. In another incident, a 14-year-old boy was left with “life-changing” injuries after being shot in north London on Tuesday.
