New reward issued on the first anniversary of Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters

Detectives have released new footage of a man they need to trace following the murder of Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters in Kilburn a year ago.

A Crimestoppers reward of up to £20,000 remains on offer for information that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in Tikquaan’s murder.

Tikquaan, 28, from the Queens Park Area, was shot at close range by a suspect riding a white Honda Moped in Bravington Road, Kilburn at about 23:05hrs on Wednesday, 4 September 2024.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found Tikquaan suffering from gunshot injuries. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, he unfortunately died at the scene.

Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “Today marks a year since Tikquaan was fatally shot in a quiet residential street. His family, understandably, remain heartbroken and my team and I remain dedicated to bringing to justice whoever was responsible for this wicked violence.

“We have been working tirelessly over the past year and have made three arrests in connection with Tikquaan’s murder.

“We are continuing to make enquiries and today we will be speaking with members of public in the local area, handing out leaflets about our investigation in the hope it jogs someone’s memory.

“We are particularly keen to identify a man who was captured on CCTV in the vicinity before the attack took place. We have today released footage in the hope someone recognises him.

“I must reiterate my appeal for anyone who has not yet spoken to us to come forward and contact ourselves or Crimestoppers anonymously.”

Tikquaan’s family, who remain supported by specialist officers, said: “The family and community are utterly broken by the devastating loss of such a special, innocent life. This heart-breaking tragedy serves as a reminder that Tikquaan could have been anyone’s son, brother, nephew, or friend.

“Your information could be the key to bringing justice for Tikquaan and providing closure to his grieving family, friends, and our community.”

Alexa Loukas, the London Regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: "We know it can be really hard to share information, especially if you’re worried about consequences. If you have any information about Tikquaan’s murder, Crimestoppers, an independent charity, can help. We will pass on what you know without ever asking for your personal details, so you stay completely anonymous. This means you won’t have to deal with the police, go to court, or give a witness statement.

“Tikquaan was a cherished young man whose life was tragically cut short. His family, friends, and the whole community deserve justice. Your information could be key to making that happen.”

Crimestoppers is supporting the investigation by offering up to £20,000 for information the charity exclusively receives - via its website crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555 111 – that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the murder of Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters.

The reward is available for three months and is due to expire on Thursday, 4 December, 2025 . Information passed directly to the police will not qualify for a reward from the charity Crimestoppers.

+ Three men have been arrested during the course of the investigation on suspicion of murder, and a woman was arrested for assisting an offender. The man and woman were released with no further action while the other two men remain on bail and released under investigation while enquiries continue.
