A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with a fatal early morning stabbing.
Police were called to reports of a man having been stabbed in Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, at about 2.35am on Sunday.
The victim, who has been formally identified as 39-year-old Dennis Anderson from Lewisham, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 3am.
The force said the attacker had approached Mr Anderson in an off-licence shop and a row erupted before Mr Anderson was attacked.
Dennis Anderson was stabbed to death in East Dulwich over the weekend after a man confronted him in a corner shop in an apparent row over a packet of cigarettes

A post-mortem examination held on Tuesday gave the cause of death as an incised wound to the neck, police said.
The Metropolitan Police said on Wednesday evening a 24-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder and taken to a south London police station.
Detective Inspector Domenica Catino, who is leading the investigation, said: 'Although we have made an arrest, we still need to hear from anyone that may have been in the area on Sunday morning.
'Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could really help our investigation.
'We are aware of speculation around the motive for this attack and can now confirm that the suspect approached Mr Anderson in an off-licence shop before an altercation broke out and the suspect delivered a fatal attack.
'Our top priorities now are to support Mr Anderson's family.'
Friends said Mr Anderson was popular in the area and was known as a family man who doted on his daughter. He is believed to have been returning home from a party when he was killed
Mr Anderson 'didn't have a bad bone in his body', friends said earlier this week.
His friends have said Mr Anderson was a painter-decorator who was devoted to his teenage daughter and had never even been in a fight before.
Mr Anderson is said to have been returning home from a friend's party when he was asked for a cigarette in a convenience store.
Witnesses said an argument ensued in which he was attacked and killed.
Friend Luke Roche, 29, told The Evening Standard: 'He loved his daughter. He was a family man and very popular, no one had a bad word to say about him. I honestly can't think of anyone he'd had a fight with. He just wasn't part of that life.'
The assistant manager of the store, Muhammad Khan, said a fight broke out over a cigarette which ended with the customer being stabbed to death just 20 seconds later.
He said: 'They had an argument about cigarettes. My cousin was here, he was manager. The guy who had the knife came in about five or six minutes after the man who then got stabbed.
'The guy with the knife asked the other for free cigarettes, like as a favour or something.
'They had an argument and he took out a knife. Everyone was trying to stop him.
'A member of staff behind the counter and other customers tried to stop him too.'
He added: 'We have had no trouble around here before- it's very nice, all educated and wealthy people living around here.'
The brutal killing came on a night of horrific violence in the capital.

Eleven people have been murdered in London so far this year, at least seven of whom have been fatally stabbed.
It follows the deadliest year in a decade in the capital with 134 killings in 2018.
Last Thursday, the Office for National Statistics revealed that the number of fatal stabbings is now at the highest level since records began in 1946.
Some 285 people were stabbed to death in the year ending March 2018, with attacks 'most pronounced' in young men.
Highlighting a worrying increase in violence plaguing Britain, there were 726 killings recorded overall - 20 more than the previous year.
Already this year at least nine people have been murdered in the capital including Lejean Richards, 19, who was stabbed near Prince George's school earlier this week
The homicide figures are more pronounced when excluding mass murders such as the London Bridge, Westminster and Manchester terror attacks, which claimed the lives of 35 innocent victims in 2017.
Taking those deaths out, the number of killings increasing by 89, or 15 per cent, from 606 to 695.
London witnessed the starkest concentration of crimes involving knives and sharp instruments, highlighting the capital's ongoing crisis.
So far in 2019 at least nine people have been murdered in the capital including Lejean Richards, 19, who was stabbed to death near Prince George's school.
His mother Lavern Joseph said: 'Lejean was a loving son and brother, a young man determined to turn his life around.'
Stats released on Thursday show that stabbings are by far the most common cause of death in homicide cases, nearly three times the second most common, which is beating

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
