Victim of fatal Peckham shooting named as killer remains at large
Cops have named the victim of a fatal shooting in Peckham earlier this month as they renew their appeal for information.
Jesse Lloyd-Smith, 20, was shot in East Surrey Grove, Peckham, at around 5pm on July 10.
Emergency services attended the scene and Jesse was taken to hospital. Despite the best efforts of medical staff, he died the following day.
No arrests have been made and enquiries continue.
Jesse’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers as the investigation into his murder continues, police said.
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Gammampila said: “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. 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.”
