A 35-year-old man has been shot dead in a pub in Enfield, north London. Detectives have released a CCTV image of a person they want to speak to as part of the murder investigation.
Police were called to reports of a shooting at a pub on Hertford Road at around 9.30pm on Monday, 19 October. Officers attended alongside the London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance. Paramedics treated the man for gunshot wounds at the scene, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. No arrests have been made.
Police appeal for information
The Metropolitan Police have released a CCTV image of a person they would like to speak to in connection with the investigation. Officers said it is not clear at this early stage whether the person is a man or a woman, or if they are wearing a disguise. Detectives are urging anyone who recognises the person in the image to come forward.
The victim's family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. A crime scene remains in place while officers continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death. Forensics teams are scouring for clues and officers are carrying out door-to-door inquiries.
Investigation ongoing
Detective Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo, who is leading the investigation, said: 'Our thoughts are with the victim's family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time as they begin to come to terms with this senseless act.' He added that CCTV images of a person they would like to identify and speak to are being released as enquiries progress swiftly.
He also urged anyone who was in the area at the time, or who may have CCTV, doorbell, dashcam or mobile phone footage, to come forward. Local police patrols have been stepped up following the death.
Chief Superintendent Anna McCartney, who leads policing in the area, said: 'We recognise the concern local people will have and can reassure them that our officers are working urgently to identify and trace those responsible. Serious violence has no place in our community, and the Met remains fully committed to tackling gun crime.'
