A 35-year-old man who was shot dead in a targeted attack at a pub in north London has been named by police as Erdem Mustafa. He was killed at the Sun and Woolpack on Hertford Road in Enfield on Monday, October 19.
Officers attended the scene alongside paramedics from the London Ambulance Service and London Air Ambulance. Mustafa was treated for gunshot wounds but was pronounced dead at the scene. His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
Police Release CCTV Image
No arrests have been made, and enquiries remain ongoing. Detectives have renewed their appeal for information and released a CCTV image of a person they are keen to speak to. A spokesperson for the force previously said it was “unclear at this early stage whether this was a man or woman, or if the person is wearing a disguise.”
Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo, who is leading the investigation, said: "Our thoughts remain with Erdem’s loved ones following what is undoubtedly a tragic and senseless act that led to his death. We recognise local concerns following this incident and while detectives are keeping an open mind, we believe this to be a targeted attack."
Appeal for Information
Bhangoo urged anyone with information to come forward, saying: "We are still urging those who have not yet come forward to do so if they have any information to share, or any CCTV, doorbell, dashcam or mobile phone footage. No detail is too small, and we urge anyone who can help to contact us."
Chief Superintendent Anna Mccartney, who leads policing in the area, said: "We continue to recognise the concern local people have after this incident and can reassure them that detectives are working at pace to find those responsible for Erdem’s death. Extra officers remain in the area to offer further reassurance. Serious violence has no place in our community. The Met is committed to tackling gun crime, and we are determined to hold those who seek to do serious harm to account."
Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting CAD 7050/19OCT26, or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to remain anonymous.
