Detectives investigating a shooting in Walthamstow are making a new appeal for witnesses to come forward.
Police were called at 22:44hrs on Saturday, 17 July to reports of a firearms discharge in Blackhorse Lane, E17.
Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service. A 22-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound.
He was taken to hospital in a critical condition, however his injuries were later assessed as not life-threatening.
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command have carried out a number of enquiries, including a review of CCTV from the area.
As a result of this, they believe there were several witnesses to the shooting who have not yet spoken to police. We are asking them to contact us immediately.
Detective Inspector Mat Freeman, the officer leading the investigation, said: “This incident left a man seriously injured, and whilst his condition has improved, he still faces a long road to recovery.
“We are determined to find those responsible and have already carried out extensive enquiries, however we still need any witnesses to come forward and tell us what they saw.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC giving the reference CAD 8299/17JUN23.
Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, online or by calling 0800 555 111.
