Rowan Thomas-Williams was blasted in the chest at the celebrations in Mulberry Court, Elgar Avenue, in the early hours of December 6, 2013.
Police were called to reports of gunshots at around 2am but found no one there.
Instead the victim’s friends had already taken him to a hospital in north west London where medics called police before he sadly died from his injuries at around 9.40am.
Last year, detectives investigating his murder put up a £20,000 reward for information leading to the 20-year-old’s killer, but to date no one has been charged.

Ruth Thomas has previously made an emotional appeal for information leading to her son’s killer.
She said: “Rowan had his whole life ahead of him. He was at the age where he wanted to build a future for himself and his children.
