The Evening Standard said Mr Kusi-Owusu was a drill rapper known as M Lo.

A friend told the newspaper: “Fame never changed Max. He’s a very straightforward, energetic and down-to-earth human being.

“He was extremely talented musically. I’m sure his music will live on for as long as we are here.

“He knows nothing else other than to look out for his friends and family and most importantly his daughter, who he would do anything in this world for.”

A 29-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been released under investigation.

Anyone with information can contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC, giving the reference 824/04SEP, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online.
