A man was shot dead in Kentish Town last night.
Police were called by the London Ambulance Service shortly before midnight to reports of a shooting in Malden Road.
Firearms officers and London's Air Ambulance were scrambled to the scene, where a man, believed to be in his 20s, was found with gunshot injuries. He died in Malden Road at 12.10am.
A Scotland Yard spokesperson said: "His next of kin are yet to be informed. Formal identification has not taken place.
"A post-mortem examination will be scheduled in due course. At this early stage, there have been no arrests and enquiries continue."
A crime scene remained in place this morning.
The attack comes after a man in his 20s was shot dead in Sydenham, south-east London, yesterday.
