Witnesses fled in horror after a 20-year-old man was stabbed to death in broad daylight on a London street. Video footage captured the moment onlookers ran away in fear following the attack on Malakai Ferguson-Ramson.
Details of the Incident
The young man died on Ashmore Road shortly after 8:50 pm on Tuesday, March 26. Police have arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of murder, who remains in custody. A 42-year-old man was also arrested for conspiracy to murder but has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
The incident occurred near the junction of Ashmore Road and Drayford Close in Kilburn. In the video, pedestrians can be seen walking calmly before something off-camera spooked them, causing them to run away. The Metropolitan Police believe those in the footage are likely witnesses to the stabbing and could assist with the investigation.
Police Appeal for Witnesses
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller, leading the investigation, stated: "I would like to reiterate that those pictured are believed to be witnesses. While I understand the challenges that come with talking to police, there are a range of ways to contact us - including completely anonymously. I urge people to put these complexities to one side and instead empathise with the grief Malakai's loved ones are navigating at this moment in time. The information held by eyewitnesses is vital and could ultimately take us a step closer to securing justice."
Witnesses, including those in the video, are urged to phone 101 and quote reference 8418/26MAY. Anonymous reports can be submitted to Crimestoppers via 0800 555 111 with the same reference.
