Fosu-Mensah posted a still from the video on Saturday saying ‘RIP to you my brother…love U may god bless U @nanabanger’ with two crying emojis and a rose underneath.

Jordan Henry, a friend of the birthday boy said: ‘It was an 18th birthday party of one of my friends and the invitation just went round to too many people and over 100 people showed up.’

‘It was posted on social media and everyone showed up. ‘The neighbors said they saw two boys fighting outside and then one of them who was stabbed ran back inside.’

‘Once everyone knew what it was they started running and screaming down the street, it was like a riot. It was crazy.’

Many paid respect to the talented DJ, who has only been named by his stage name, on Twitter.

The 20-year-old man and another teenager, 17, were found with stab injuries and rushed to the hospital, but the older of the two was pronounced dead at 4.30am.

Police and the London Ambulance Service raced to the party after receiving reports of a fight and administered first aid to Mr. Poku before he was taken to the hospital.

Another teen, 18, and a 28-year-old man have also been arrested following the party, on suspicion of affray.
