Two men have appeared in court charged with murdering a 17-year-old girl in a drive-by shooting more than six years ago.

Tanesha Melbourne-Blake was socialising with friends when she was shot in the chest by someone in a silver-coloured people carrier in Tottenham, north London, in April 2018.

She died at the scene and the car was found burnt out in Barnet five days later.

Marcus La-Croix, 36, from Hackney, and Michael Clarke, 34, from Luton, have both been charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Mr Clarke was remanded in custody at Willesden Magistrates’ Court and is due at the Old Bailey on Monday.

Mr La-Croix was remanded at Thames Magistrates' Court on Wednesday and is due at the Old Bailey on Friday.
