Expectant father shot dead in South East London, named and pictured | British news

An expectant father has been named as shot dead in a ‘senseless’ attack in a residential area in Sydenham, south London.

Curtis Green, 30, was killed Sunday after the shooting on Wells Park Road.

He was described by his family as “happy, excited and beautiful.”

They said: ‘He was an entrepreneur and owned a clothing brand and a local fitness company. He was also an expectant father, with a child due in five months.”

Two others were also injured in the attack, including a woman who was shot in the legs.

Both conditions are not believed to be life-threatening.

Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend said: “Following our appeal on Sunday, I would like to reiterate the importance of coming forward if you have any information about what happened on Sunday morning.

“Three people were shot and unfortunately one was killed. We have worked tirelessly to determine the circumstances and these investigations remain ongoing.”

No arrests have been made.

Area MP Ellie Reeves said on social media: “I know our entire community will be concerned about the fatal shooting in Sydenham.

“There is no place for this senseless violence and I hope the perpetrator is brought to justice soon. My thoughts are with all those affected.’

Commander Peter Stevens said: ‘I know people will be shocked by this senseless act of violence, especially on a Sunday morning in a residential area.

‘I share their concerns and can reassure the local community that the Met’s response, together with our partners, has been swift.

“We are committed to protecting the community, getting to the bottom of what happened here and bringing those responsible to justice.

‘You will encounter quite a few additional officers in the area, including forensic experts. The police cordons will likely remain on site for some time so that they can carry out their crucial work.

‘There will also be officers patrolling the area. I urge anyone with information to speak to these officers.

‘A number of people have already contacted us and we need the flow of information from everyone who has seen or heard something important to continue.

‘We also need to hear from anyone who has telephone, CCTV or doorbell footage that could assist the investigation.’
