Further appeal following fatal shooting in Sydenham

Detectives are issuing a further appeal as they name the victim of a fatal shooting in Sydenham.

Police were called at around 10:10hrs on Sunday, 10 November, to reports of a shooting in the area of Wells Park Road, SE26.

Officers attended along with ambulance colleagues and found a man suffering gunshot injuries. Despite their efforts, the man sadly died at the scene.

He has now been named as 30-year-old Curtis Green. His family will continue to be supported by specialist officers.

Curtis was described by his family as “Happy, excited and beautiful." They said he was an entrepreneur and the owner of a clothing brand and local fitness company. He was also a father-to-be, with a child due in five months.

Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend, who is now leading the Met's investigation, said: “Following our appeal on Sunday, I want to reiterate how important it is to come forward if you have any information about what happened on Sunday morning.

“Three people were shot, and sadly one has lost their life. We have been working tirelessly in order to establish the circumstances and these enquiries remain ongoing.

“In particular, I would like to hear from anyone who attended a party on Hensford Gardens, SE26. We believe Curtis had been at this party and I want to hear from anyone who was there.

"If you were at the party, if you saw what happened or if you have any information about the incident, then please do not hesitate to contact us."

A woman was also found suffering gunshot injuries to her legs. She was taken to hospital, however her condition is not life-threatening.

A third person subsequently attended hospital with what are believed to be gunshot injuries. His injuries have been confirmed to be not life-threatening or life-changing.

There has been no arrest at this stage.
