Tanesha Melbourne-Blake, 17, died of gunshot wound

She was shot while in the street with a group of friends, by a gunman in a moving car.

A woman who knew Tanesha said that she was “just chilling with her friends” when she was shot from a car for “no reason at all” in Chalgrove Road, a residential street near Northumberland Park station.

“The car just pulled up and just started shooting,” said the 21-year-old friend, who did not want to be named. She said she heard the gunshots “like fireworks” from her house. 

She said that Tanesha’s mother arrived before paramedics, adding: “She was screaming. She didn’t know what to do.”

“She didn’t deserve that. Her mum didn’t deserve to watch her die,” she said. She described the victim as a “good girl”, adding: “She was so lovely.” 

"Crime's everywhere. It's appalling", according to one Tottenham resident who says some people are even scared to leave their homes. Last night, a 17-year-old girl was shot dead in a drive-by attack during a night of violence. More here https://t.co/DWDV2aJT2a https://t.co/KFJPq4Xis8
