Two teenagers have been charged with murder after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in west London on Saturday, police have said.
The suspects have not been named because they are both 16, the Metropolitan Police said.
Keiron Charles, 17, from East Acton, died in Erconwald Street, Shepherd’s Bush, after police were called at 1.10pm on Saturday.
Met officers and London Ambulance Service crews attended the scene near the junction with Du Cane Road and Old Oak Common Lane.
Paramedics tried to save the teenager, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

“The thoughts of everyone in the Met remain with Keiron’s family and loved ones as they begin to come to terms with their tragic loss,” the officer added.
The suspects are due to appear at Highbury Corner Youth Court on Monday.
