Moped rider wearing Just Eat jacket wanted over schoolboy's fatal shooting
A moped rider wearing a bright orange Just Eat jacket is wanted over the 'targeted and premeditated' fatal shooting of a schoolboy, a court has heard. Emergency services were alerted shortly after 3pm on March 4 after Lathaniel Burrell, 16, was shot in the chest by a lone gunman. He collapsed on grass and died at the scene in Paradise Road, Stockwell, south London. The gunman, who remains at large, was wearing a crash helmet, gloves and a distinctive orange Just Eat jacket and was riding a stolen Honda moped, the Old Bailey was told. He was allegedly assisted by 32-year-old Omar Prempeh who is charged with murder having allegedly driven the gunman from the scene in a Nissan Juke. Prempeh appeared at the Old Bailey on Wednesday for a preliminary hearing in the case. Prosecutor Ben Holt said: 'The prosecution case is this is a targeted attack on the victim. It appears to be a premediated fatal shooting. The gunman is still outstanding.' He told the court the evidence suggested the gunman had gone into Paradise Road and exited 20 second later, during which time the victim was shot. Prempeh, of Stanstead Road, Forest Hill, south-east London, appeared in court by video link from Belmarsh prison and spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth. Judge Rebecca Trowler KC set a plea hearing on May 29 and a provisional four-week trial from December 1. She noted Prempeh was the alleged 'secondary party in a premediated and targeted shooting in the street' as she remanded him in custody. Relatives of Lathaniel, who sat in court during the hearing, have described him as as a Manchester United fan who enjoyed playing Playstation 5, and a friend of the family said he was 'very bright at school'. A 17-year-old youth has also be charged with Lathaniel's murder and was appearing at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. His next court date is expected to be at the Old Bailey on Friday.

Lathaniel Burrell: Moped rider wearing orange Just Eat jacket wanted over "targeted" fatal shooting of London schoolboy
A moped rider wearing a bright orange Just Eat jacket is wanted over the "targeted and premeditated" fatal shooting of a schoolboy in south London, a court has heard. Lathaniel Burrell, 16, collapsed and died after being shot in the chest by a lone gunman in Stockwell last week. Emergency services were called shortly after 3pm on 4 March to Paradise Road. The gunman, who is still at large, was wearing a crash helmet, gloves and a distinctive orange Just Eat jacket and was riding a stolen Honda moped, the Old Bailey was told. He was allegedly assisted by Omar Prempeh, 32, who is charged with murder having allegedly driven the gunman from the scene in a Nissan Juke. Prempeh appeared at the Old Bailey on Wednesday for a preliminary hearing in the case. Prosecutor Ben Holt said it was a "targeted attack" which "appears to be a premeditated fatal shooting" for which the gunman is "still outstanding". He said evidence showed the shooter spent 20 seconds in the road, during which time the victim was shot. Prempeh, of Stanstead Road, Forest Hill, southeast London, appeared in court by video link from Belmarsh prison and spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth. Judge Rebecca Trowler KC set a plea hearing on 29 May and a provisional four-week trial from 1 December. She noted Prempeh was the alleged "secondary party in a premeditated and targeted shooting in the street" as she remanded him in custody. Lathaniel's relatives, who sat in court during the hearing, have described him as a Manchester United fan who enjoyed playing Playstation 5, and a friend of the family said he was "very bright at school". A 17-year-old youth has also be charged with Lathaniel's murder and was appearing at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. His next court date is expected to be at the Old Bailey on Friday.
