Man, 25, dies after Brixton drive-by shooting

A murder investigation has been launched after a man died following a drive-by shooting in south London.

Police were called to Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, at 01:14 BST on Saturday following reports that multiple shots had been fired.

Keanu Taylor, 25, was taken to hospital where he died, the Met Police said.

Three others, aged 21, 47 and 70, were taken to hospital, where their injuries were assessed as not life‑threatening or life‑changing. No arrests have been made.

Det Ch Insp Allam Bhangoo said: "Our thoughts are with Keanu's family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

"This was a shocking act of violence which has had a devastating impact on those involved and the local community. I want to reassure residents that we are working urgently to identify and apprehend those responsible."

Several police officers were seen searching an area of grass outside the Southwyck House estate on Coldharbour Lane on Saturday evening.

An estate resident said he believed the incident took place during a barbecue party on the patch of green, while shop worker Moh John said he provided shelter to people in the wake of gunshots.

The 45-year-old, who works at supermarket Payless Food & Wine outside Southwyck House estate, said he heard noises and saw people run away from a party.

John said those who rushed inside the supermarket were "scared", and he kept the front door locked for "some time" before he reopened it.

Anyone with information or footage of the incident should contact the Met Police or Crimestoppers.
