"Prosecuting, William Emlyn Jones KC said: 'It was there at the top of the stairwell that the defendant aimed and fired at the victim, shooting him once in the chest, causing an injury from which he died.'"
"The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested in the days after the shooting and charged on 9 April."
Eghosa Ogbebor, a 14-year-old boy, was fatally shot in a stairwell in Woolwich, London, on April 2. A 16-year-old boy is alleged to have shot him in the chest. Ogbebor was also armed at the time. The accused appeared via video-link and was remanded in custody, with a trial scheduled for January. The Metropolitan Police's investigation continues, with several arrests made, including another 16-year-old and a 19-year-old, all of whom have been released on bail.
