The teenager killed in Parsons Green last Thursday has been named as 18-year-old Hani Solomon from Wandsworth.
He was found with stab wounds on Ackmar Road at 6.42pm on Thursday, 11 February after police were called to reports of a fight taking place involving a group of males.
Despite the efforts of paramedics including those from the London Air Ambulance Service, Hani was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:28pm. A post mortem later confirmed the cause of death as a knife wound to the chest.
Although formal identification is yet to take place, detectives are confident the victim is Hani. His next of kin has been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
A second man, aged 20, was taken to hospital with a stab injury and later discharged. He was accompanied by a third man who was not injured.
Police subsequently attended a west London hospital after a 23-year-old man admitted himself. They were confirmed as not life-threatening and he was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains under a police guard in hospital.

"Something which may seem insignificant to you could be very significant for the investigation, so please let us know about it. I can assure those with information that, if you have concerns around contacting us, I will ensure your confidentiality.”
Anybody who can help officers is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC, quoting reference CAD 5723/11Feb. Or to remain anonymous, please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
