A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of Finbar Sullivan, who was stabbed in Primrose Hill, north London.
Mr Sullivan, 21, was found with stab wounds after police were called to reports of a fight at the London beauty spot on Tuesday at around 6:41pm. He later died at the scene.
Police said a a 25-year-old man has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. Both men remain in police custody for questioning.
A second man, aged in his 20s, was found nearby in Regent’s Park Road with knife wounds and was taken to hospital. Officers later confirmed his injuries were non-life-threatening and non-life-changing.
Mr Sullivan was a filmmaking student at the London Screen Academy and produced music videos for drill rap artists under the name Sully Shot It, according to reports.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, his father Christopher Sullivan said his son “can never be replaced”.
“I’m so broken-hearted, I can’t believe it,” he said.
“He was the most beautiful, lovely, outgoing, loving boy. He was just a really lovely person.”
Mr Sullivan said his son had ambitions to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, cameraman Michael Seresin, who worked on Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban and Rambo III.
Police urged anyone with any information about the incident to come forward and said officers are continuing to work “around the clock” to trace everyone involved.
Officers previously called on a woman who recorded the fight where Mr Sullivan was stabbed to come forward and share “vital evidence”.
Metropolitan Police Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, who is leading the investigation, said: “My thoughts remain with Finbar’s family who continue to receive support from specialist officers at this unimaginably difficult time.
“Although we have made two arrests, my officers continue to work around the clock to trace everyone involved. I’d like to thank the public who have come forward with information so far.
“If you are yet to speak to us, or share footage from Tuesday relating to this incident, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Anything you submit could have a huge impact on our investigation.
“In the meantime, residents can expect to see an increased police presence as dedicated local officers continue patrols in Primrose Hill and the surrounding areas.”
