The Met Police has launched a fresh appeal for information six months after a man was shot in a house in Tottenham.
The victim was rushed to hospital on February 6 after neighbours reporting hearing gunshots on Tottenham Green East at around 4:30 in the morning. Thankfully, his bullet wounds weren’t life-threatening.
However, CCTV footage was found of a man walking near the scene, his face seemingly obscured by a mask, with his hood up. Police now need help figuring out who he is, and would like to speak with him.
They also arrested a 25-year-old on suspicion of attempted murder, but he was released on bail.
DI Darren Jones is leading the investigation.
“A man was brutally shot earlier this year in Tottenham,” he said.
“It’s vital that we determine exactly what happened and bring the person or people responsible for this crime to justice. If you recognise the man caught on CCTV, we urge you to come forward and speak to us.
“A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder during the course of our investigation and has been released on bail but our enquiries continue.
“I am especially keen to locate the gun used which has now been connected to four separate shootings in North London.
“Any information to help identify the suspect or the location of the gun, could be essential in helping us piece together the circumstances of this incident.”
Detectives are asking anyone who witnessed the incident – or who has relevant doorbell or CCTV footage if they were around Tottenham Green East at the time – to call 101, quoting CAD 741/06FEB. To remain anonymous, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
