Joshua Ogedengbe, 19, has been charged with the murder of Jason Romeo, 20.
A fifth man has now been charged with the murder of Jason Romeo, who died after an alleged altercation on 18 February on Bodney Road, Lower Clapton.
Ogedengbe, from Catford, Lewisham, was charged last Friday.
He joins Renaldo Roberts, 25, from Hoxton, Raynolph Asante, 22, Travis Mitchell, 21, both from Hackney, and Rhamyah Bailey-Edwards, 21, from Walthamstow, who were charged last week.
Roberts, Asante, Mitchell and Bailey-Edwards will stand trial at the Old Bailey on 3 November this year.
In a statement, Kelly Allen, Detective Superintendent, said:“Jason had his whole life ahead of him, but this senseless attack has taken that from both him and his loved ones.”
Romeo becomes the fourteenth person to die from knife crime in London this year.
James Conway, MPS Commander for Central East, said: “Another young life has been taken away as a consequence of knife crime. We continue to work closely with our local community partners and Hackney Council to tackle the causes and effects of knife crime.”
The Metropolitan Police said the investigation remains ongoing.
