A grieving mother has paid tribute to her 17-year-old son who was shot dead night in south London last night, following previous threats to his life.

The teenager – who rapped under the name GB – has been named by his mother who said he had ‘had so much potential’ for the future.
She added: ‘My son was a very handsome boy.
‘This is not life. My son’s a good boy,’ she said.
‘He was going to do 13 subjects at school before they kicked him out.
‘He was a bright boy.

‘I was sat in the park and someone said they heard the Peckham boys were around.

‘I saw a boy on the floor, it was my son on the floor with police with guns over him.’
She claimed he was targeted by thugs from a gang who terrorised the Brandon Estate in a silver BMW armed with a shotgun on Friday and Saturday night.
