Detectives are renewing appeals for information on the first anniversary of a fatal shooting in West Kensington.
Shortly after 02:00hrs on 4 September 2022, police were called to Kensington High Street, W14 following reports of a firearms discharge.
On arrival, officers carried out a search of the area and found 29-year-old Maximillian Kusi-Owusu injured. They immediately provided first aid before he was taken to hospital by the London Ambulance Service.
Despite the efforts of medical staff, Maximillian died at 05:32hrs that morning.
A post-mortem examination held on 6 September 2022 confirmed cause of death as a gunshot wound.
His family continue to be supported by specialist officers.
Homicide detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are leading the investigation and are renewing appeals for anyone with information to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Mike Nolan said: “Our investigation remains ongoing, and we are determined to find whomever is responsible for this tragic incident.
“Whilst we have carried out an extensive investigation, including a thorough review of local CCTV, we still require your help.
“It has been a year since Maximillian was killed and his family are still without the answers they need. I am asking for your help to identify who fired that fatal shot. I am certain that someone has the information that will allow us to make arrests.
“This murder occurred in the early hours of a Sunday morning in an area that would have been busy after people enjoyed a night out. Did you see or hear anything suspicious? We are particularly interested in anyone who has information regarding a silver Alfa Romeo Stelvio seen in the area of Radnor Terrace at that time.
“Please do the right thing and come forward. If you do not want to speak with officers, contact Crimestoppers anonymously.”
Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC giving the reference CAD 824/04Sep22.
Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on 4 September 2022 before being released with no further action.
