Attack on rap star sparked a wave of killings
When a video of an attack on the rap star Headie One went viral, three young people were murdered in the London Borough of Haringey over the next 10 weeks. Tensions have long existed between rival gangs in Wood Green and Tottenham, but they rapidly escalated two years ago as tit-for-tat attacks were filmed and posted on Snapchat and YouTube. In February 2018, youth worker Kobi Nelson from Tottenham was stabbed to death. The following month 19-year-old rapper Kelvin Odunuyi was shot dead outside a cinema in Wood Green and three weeks later 17-year-old Tanesha Melbourne-Blake was shot dead in Tottenham in a drive-by shooting. Only one of Kobi's killers was identified and later jailed. Nobody has been brought to justice following the deaths of Kelvin and Taneesha.
