A TWELFTH man has been charged by detectives investigating the murder of Marcus Innocent who was gunned down in Woolwich last year.

Twenty-year-old Jordan Johns-McKenna, from Blackheath, is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court today (May 4) to answer a murder charge.

Mr Innocent was shot in Lord Warwick Street at around 6.20pm last November 19.

Prior to the attack a group of between 15 to 20 people – described as black and white individuals – were seen hanging around a group of shops in Kingsman Street at the junction with Lord Warwick Street.

Detectives believe the 35-year-old victim was set upon by one person from this group, before more joined in and then he was shot.

Members of the group were then seen running down Lord Warwick Street towards Frances Street while others drove off in cars parked at the back of the shops in Lord Warwick Street.

A post-mortem examination at Greenwich Mortuary the following day gave Mr Innocent’s cause of death as a gunshot wound to the stomach area.
