Thusha Kamaleswaran remains critically ill A man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder following the shooting of a five-year-old girl and a man in a south London shop.
Anthony McCalla, 19, of Streatham, is charged over the shooting of Thusha Kamaleswaran and bystander Roshan Selvakumar, 35, in Stockwell.
He is due before Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.
A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Friday on suspicion of attempted murder and is currently in custody.
The victims are both Sri Lankan but unrelated.
Police said Thusha remained in a “critical but stable” condition in hospital. Mr Selvakumar’s condition is described as “stable”.
Thusha was hit in the chest and Mr Selvakumar suffered a head wound as two youths cowered in the store after being chased by three other youths on bicycles.
Detectives revealed Thusha’s 12-year-old brother, three-year-old sister and mother had been in the shop in Stockwell but were unhurt during the Tuesday evening shooting.
Crimestoppers has been offering a £50,000 reward for information leading to the capture of those behind the shooting.
A teenager targeted by gangsters who accidentally shot the two victims came out of hiding after a police appeal.
