The London Metropolitan Police has revealed how an 18-year-old UK-based Nigerian, Emmanuel Popoola, allegedly shot dead a fellow teenager, Keanu Harker, following a dispute over comments made in a Snapchat group chat.
The details of the incident were contained in a statement obtained from the Met Police website on Tuesday, following the conviction of Popoola alongside his accomplices at the Old Bailey court in the UK on Monday.
The statement noted that Popoola, alongside other accomplices, Tayvon Etefia, Eliezer Mbaki, Anais King, and a 17-year-old boy whose identity is protected for legal reasons, were found guilty on Monday after a six-week trial.
The statement disclosed that Harker was shot in the head and chest on June 26, 2025, while riding his bicycle along Great Cambridge Road, Enfield.
It noted that the victim was tailed by Popoola and Etefia on a Sur-ron electric bike before Popoola opened fire.
