Victim of fatal shooting named as police reveal further information from morning of the incident

The victim of a fatal shooting in Lambeth in the early hours of Saturday has been named as Jazmel Patterson-Low.

The 26-year-old died half an hour after a private car dropped him off at St Thomas’ Hospital at around 2.30am.

Police said Mr Patterson-Low was shot at around 2.25am on the Westbury Estate in St Rule Street, where a crowd of about 40 people had gathered.

Cops believe an argument flared up, resulting in a gun being fired.

A post-mortem examination was held on Sunday which gave Mr Patterson-Low’s cause of death as a single gunshot wound.

There have been no arrests, but police said the car has been found and forms part of the ongoing investigation.

Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe, of the Met’s Specialist Crime department, said: “I am extremely grateful to those who have already come forward to provide information. Along with CCTV and forensic enquiries, this has provided numerous lines of enquiry, which detectives are working around the clock to develop.

“I am certain there are other people who will know what happened in St Rule Street and who was responsible for the shooting. I urge them to come forward and share that information.

“If you don’t want to speak to police, you can contact the independent charity, Crimestoppers, anonymously. Some people have already done that – I don’t know who they are, but I have their information and I thank them.”

Mr Patterson-Low’s family are being supported by specially-trained officers.

Detective Chief Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh, the senior officer responsible for policing Lambeth, said: “Ever since Saturday morning, I have remained in contact with people and partners in Lambeth. 

“We are all appalled by the brutal killing of Jazmel and we are working together to protect and support the community.

“Jazmel’s family deserve answers. Dedicated police officers, including specialists from across the Met, are determined to do everything we can for them – to bring whoever killed Jazmel to justice, and to protect the community by taking his killer off the streets.

“But we do need even more help from the local community to achieve those crucial aims. If you have crucial information – if you know who fired that gun – please come forward and share that information now.

“Anyone with any information or footage is asked to call police on 101 and give reference 884/11May. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
