Lianne Gordon, 42, died at the scene of the shooting in Vine Close on December 5 2023, and two others were also injured.
A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Stratford Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday charged with threatening a person with a blade in relation to an alleged incident in Vine Close on October 1 2023.
He has also been charged with possession of a firearm with intent, possession of a bladed article and affray in relation to an alleged incident in Rendlesham Road on December 2 2023.
The Metropolitan Police said the charges were linked to the shooting of Ms Gordon and inquiries are continuing.
