Man arrested over teenager's shooting
A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the murder of London teenager Billy Cox.
The 15-year-old was shot in the chest at his home in Clapham North in south London on Valentine's Day this year.
The suspect, understood to be the first arrested in the inquiry, is believed to have been arrested during a raid at a property near Clapham High Street on Wednesday.
It is understood that four other people were also arrested during the same raid, on suspicion of possessing controlled drugs with intent to supply.
Billy Cox was one of three teenagers shot within the space of a fortnight in south London in February this year. His death followed that of James Andre-Smartt-Ford, 16, who was shot dead at an ice rink in Streatham on February 3.
Michael Dosunmu, 15, was shot dead in his bedroom at his home in Peckham, three days after Billy Cox was murdered.
A gun crime summit was organised by politicians in the wake of the murders.
