South London men jailed for murder after teen shot and stabbed outside music studio - Wimbledon Guardian

Tyler McDermott died on April 14 last year, the day after he was shot in the head then stabbed with a machete while he was on the floor outside the studio in Norman Road, Tottenham.

A court heard tensions had risen in the music studio earlier that day when one of the defendants became upset at being filmed.

As Tyler and a friend left the studio early in the morning Tyrese Barnett shot Tyler and Leo Reid struck him with a large machete when he was already lying on the floor with gunshot injuries. Barnett fired a second shot aiming at Tyler’s friend but missed.
