Detective Chief Inspector Chris Wood from the Met’s homicide investigation team, said: “It is possible that the driver and anyone else inside the vehicle are witnesses to this incident and I can reassure them they will receive all the support they require should they come forward to speak to us.

“The car had turned into Kender Street from Queens Road and came to an abrupt stop as Julian and the suspect ran across in front of the vehicle.”

Police have confirmed that one man has already appeared in court charged with Mr Ebanks-Ford’s murder.
