A Nigerian national identified as Jordan Gbolade Jaiyeola has been stabbed to death in a fight after a birthday party that took place at a community centre in East London, The Sun reports.
Reports said police have arrested three teenage boys on suspicion of murder and have been taken to separate police stations for questioning.
The teenage drill rapper known locally as Jordan Douherty was found with knife wounds at the scene after he had died.
The Met Police said they were called to the centre in Romford on Saturday night after a fight broke out in a party of up to 100 youths.
A witness simply identified as Carol, who spoke with Press Association said,
“It was chaos out here last night” and described hearing friends of the victim screaming and sobbing.
“Around 9.20pm I heard a lot of noise going on. For some reason it didn’t sound right. It was mostly black boys out there.
“Then I heard a lad crying down the phone ‘he’s dead, he’s dead’.
“He was lying down in the road, there was a lot of blood. The police were working on him, they tried their absolute damnedest with that boy last night.”
Also, Ellie, a teenager who saw the aftermath of the attack said,
“There was a big group on the corner with just the boy on the floor.
“There were paramedics doing shocks and CPR on him for quite a while. The best part of an hour. After, he was just laying there with a white sheet over him, it was covered in blood.”
Jordan is the youngest victim to be fatally stabbed in London this year. More than 80 murder investigations have now been launched across London this year alone.
The aspiring rap star appeared in a number of YouTube videos with the group C17 under the alias Young Valenti. Their lyrics reference gang and knife violence, rapping about using “skengs” and “shanks” (knives) to “dip” and “splash” (stab) their “opps” (gang rivals), the Sun reports.
