Fredi Rivero, 75, was attacked on Seven Sisters Road at around 11.35pm on Thursday.
Police were called to the scene, which was close to the junction of Holloway Road, following reports of Mr Rivero being located with serious injuries.
The 75-year-old was taken to hospital where he died on Friday, police said. His family continue to be supported by specialist officers.
Three teenage girls, aged 14, 16 and 17 have been charged with manslaughter in connection with Mr Rivero's death.
The girls, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared in court on Monday, where they were accused of surrounding Mr Rivero, before punching, kicking and pushing him.
A CCTV image has now been released by police, showing what the pensioner was last seen wearing.
