Detectives investigating the murder of a man who died following a shooting in Peckham continue to appeal for witnesses and information.
Jesse Lloyd-Smith, 20, was shot in East Surrey Grove, SE15, shortly before 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10. Emergency services rushed to the scene, and Jesse was taken to hospital – however, despite the best efforts of medical staff, he died the following day.
Jesse’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers as the investigation into his murder continues.
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Gammampila from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command said, “Our investigation into Jesse’s murder continues at pace as we piece together the events leading up to, and following, the shooting.
“I am appealing to anyone who has information, whether as a witness to the shooting or who knows who is responsible for this terrible crime, to come forward. I am grateful to all those who have come forward so far but would ask anyone with information – no matter how insignificant you think it might be – to get in contact as this could prove to be crucial.
“The impact gun crime has on communities is horrific; it instils fear and distrust. I understand it can be difficult for some people to speak to police but I would urge you to do the right thing.
“Jesse’s family are devastated and need to know who was responsible for his murder. If you can help, please do so – if you don’t want to speak directly to police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.”
There has been no arrest and enquiries continue.
