POLICE have released a photo of a wanted man after a teen, 15, and a man, 23, were stabbed to death during a rap video shoot.
Lorik Lupqi, aged 19, is wanted in connection with the murders of Leonardo Reid, 15, and Klevi Shekaj, 23 on June 29 in Islington, north London.
He is from the Archway area and also has links to parts of east and south-west London.
Anyone who has information about where he is should call 999 immediately quoting CAD 9383/29Jun.
Lupqi should not be approached.
Leonardo and Klevi were killed while filming a rap video in Islington, North London last month.
A third man, aged 28, was also stabbed in the attack.
Three men have already been charged by cops – and have been remanded in custody ahead of a May 2024 trial.
He was taken to hospital where his condition was assessed as not life-threatening.
Detective Chief Inspector Jim Eastwood said: “This marks a significant development in our investigation as we appeal for the public’s help to locate Lorik Lupqi.
“Several weeks have passed since this awful incident and I am confident there are people who know where Lupqi is.
“I would encourage them to do the right thing by the victims’ grieving families and contact us immediately.”
