Hunt for killer after man shot dead in London

A murder investigation has been launched after a man was shot and killed in London.

Officers were called to reports of gunshots in Charlton Street, Camden, at 11pm on Saturday.

CCTV footage showed that a man was shot several times while sitting in a white Nissan juke.

Despite paramedics' best efforts, the 26-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

Now a search is under way for the killer, who arrived and left on a bike.

The Metropolitan Police have since launched a murder investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke, whose team is leading the probe, said: "We are aware of the concern that this will cause for the local community, and want to reassure them that we are working hard to identify the attacker and bring them to justice.

"If anyone has any information that could help us, it is extremely important that they contact the police - either through 101, online or via independent charity Crimestoppers to remain anonymous.

"Our thoughts are with the young man's family at this incredibly difficult time."
