‘Devastated and heartbroken’ family of father-to-be killed in triple shooting appeal for information
The family of a father-to-be who was fatally shot in Sydenham last month have made an emotional appeal for anyone with information to come forward.
Curtis Green, 30, was killed in Wells Park Road, Sydenham, on November 8.
One man and one woman were also shot in the incident. The woman remains in hospital with a “long road to recovery ahead of her”, Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend said.
The shooting came after a party at a property in Hensford Gardens that started the night before.
Curtis’ family said: “Curtis loved his family, loved his community and worked hard to establish businesses to uplift people physically and spiritually.
“We appeal to the community’s morals, values and integrity to stand for justice and to stop the violence that is happening far too frequently.
“We, Curtis’ family, are all devastated and heartbroken and will never be the same, having to live without such a vibrant, inspirational, loving person in our lives will be torture.”
Curtis was described by his family as “happy, excited and beautiful”. He was an entrepreneur and the owner of a clothing brand and fitness company. He was also a father-to-be, with a child due in five months.
Two women were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. They have both been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
DCI Townsend, who is leading the homicide investigation, said: “I am appealing to anyone who has information about what happened at the party, especially those outside Hensford Gardens at the time of the incident, to come forward.
“I am keen to hear from anyone who may have left prior and from those who were present at the time of the shooting. You may not think you have any key information, but it may prove vital to assist us with our investigation.
“We will support you throughout the process and will try our best to ensure that we are able to protect your identity if you have concerns.
“All information, even the slightest bit, is important and relevant to us.
“Curtis’s family have to face Christmas not knowing what happened in the moments leading up to his death. You can come forward and provide them with the clarity they deserve.”
