Peckham: Shooting victim named as Jesse Lloyd-Smith

A man who was fatally shot in Peckham has been named as Jesse Lloyd-Smith.

The 20-year-old was shot in East Surrey Grove, shortly before 17:00 BST on 10 July and died the following day in hospital.

DCI Alex Gammampila said the Met Police’s investigation is continuing “at pace”.

“The impact gun crime has on communities is horrific. It instils fear and distrust,” he said.

“I understand it can be difficult for some people to speak to police but I would urge you to do the right thing.

“I am appealing to anyone who has information, whether as a witness to the shooting or who knows who is responsible for this terrible crime, to come forward.”

The Met said that Mr Lloyd-Smith’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers as its murder investigation continues.

“Jesse’s family are devastated and need to know who was responsible for his murder,” DCI Gammampila said.

No arrests have been made.

The force said that people with information, images or footage from the night can submit it via the Met Police public portal or call 101 quoting CAD 6886/10Jul.
