Formal identification has yet to take place but officers are satisfied the victim was Rene Richardson, 24, from SE18.
Police continue to appeal for information and witnesses to come forward.
Police were called at around 16:30hrs on Monday, 10 April to reports of a man stabbed in Bournewood Road, SE18.
Officers, London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance attended and found the man, aged 24, suffering stab wounds.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and formal identification will take place in due course.
A post-mortem examination is taking place today, Wednesday 12 April, at Greenwich Mortuary.
Detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command (HMCC) are investigating.
At this early stage it is believed the victim was approached by two males in Grasdene Road, Plumstead, before he was attacked.
The victim then made his way to Bournewood Road where he collapsed and an ambulance was called.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, 11 April a 23-year-old man was arrested at an address in Bognor Regis, Sussex on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody at a south London police station.
Detectives are still trying to trace a second man, described as a black man, wearing a white t-shirt who was seen to leave the scene of the attack in a BMW sports car.
Detective Inspector Will Reynolds, of the HMCC, said: "Whilst an arrest has been made I would urge anyone with information or witnesses to this incident to speak to us as soon as possible.
"I am particularly keen for the man seen leaving the scene in the BMW vehicle to come forward and make himself known to us. We believe he may hold vital information."
