The incident happened in Eglinton Road on Sunday evening (September 22) at around 6.35pm.
Police found 15-year-old Daejaun Campbell stabbed.
He was treated by paramedics at the scene, but died a short time after.
Two men were arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into custody.
One man, Jacob Losiewicz, 18, of Church Manor Way, Abbey Wood, was charged with murder yesterday (September 25) and will appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court today (September 26).
A second man in his 50s was released without charge.
Tributes have since been paid to the teen with flowers, candles and blue balloons on the street where he died, with messages reading “miss you”, as reported by the Mirror.
One card attached to a bouquet of flowers at the scene reads: “Daejaun, forever in our hearts.”
Another read: “I love you forever, I am so proud of you, live it up.”
Friends also said that Daejaun was a “good guy” who “never had an issue with anyone”.
They added that he was a “very, very smart and well behaved” pupil and often played basketball, football and rugby at school.
Tasha Collins, who has lived in the area for 14 years, said she tried to save the schoolboy as he lay in the road outside her flat.
The 43-year-old said: “I was upstairs in my bedroom, I had my nightshirt on, I heard screaming from across the road saying ‘someone’s been stabbed, someone’s been stabbed’.
“So, I grabbed a sheet, I had no shoes or socks on or anything, and I just literally ran to where just near where the tent is, and there was someone laying face down on the floor.
“I turned him over, he had a gash in his head and I thought ‘that’s not bleeding enough’.
“His leg moved and there was a massive pool of blood, so I just stemmed the flow of blood until the paramedics got here.
“I asked if I could go and shower because I was covered in his blood, and they said ‘yes’ so I went in and showered.
“I came back out and they (the police) called me over because I was the last one with him – he was going to me ‘I’m 15, don’t let me die’ and I said to him ‘you’re not going to die, mate’.”
Woolwich Polytechnic School has also said it is devastated after the tragic death of their student Daejaun.
A statement said: “All our thoughts are with the young man’s family and friends.
“We are here to support them however needed during this unimaginably difficult time.
“The school is working closely with the local authority and police.”
A woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told the News Shopper that she didn’t send her child to school as he was “traumatised” following the incident.
She explained: “He shouldn’t be witnessing this. He’s been crying all day.
“It’s not normal, kids can’t even go to school on their own. We as the community have tried to save this boy. We saw him pour him with blood.
“My son saw a sword the size of his leg. We’ve asked the council for CCTV, we’re getting ignored.
“I’m scared for their safety. It’s not going to end. It’s going to keep happening.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry, who is in charge of policing for the South East Basic Command Unit, said: “The investigation into Daejaun’s murder continues and detectives are working around the clock.
“Local officers will remain in the area whilst we continue with our investigation. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions, they are there to support you and the community.
“I want to appeal again for anyone who knows anything about the death of young Daejaun to come forward.
