‘I am appealing to the public who may have been in the area at the time of the shooting. Did you hear any gunshots around 17:30hrs yesterday evening? Did you see anyone fleeing from the area?
‘We are keen to hear from anyone who may have any information surrounding this incident. Your information matters, no matter how insignificant you may think it is.’
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Crime Command are investigating further.
They have asked anyone with information to come forward.
