Man, 26, shot dead outside UK train station

A murder investigation has been launched after a man was shot dead in London. Police were called to the scene outside London Euston train station on Saturday night (March 28).

The Metropolitan Police said a man, 26, was fatally shot while sitting in a car on Charlton Street, in Camden. The man died at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics to save his life. Emergency services were called at around 11pm after gunshots were heard.

Police said CCTV showed a suspect, who arrived and left on a bike, firing several shots at the man who was sitting in a white Nissan Juke. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke, whose team is leading the investigation, said: “We are aware of the concern that this will cause for the local community, and want to reassure them that we are working hard to identify the attacker and bring them to justice.

“If anyone has any information that could help us, it is extremely important that they contact the police – either through 101, online or via independent charity Crimestoppers to remain anonymous. Our thoughts are with the young man’s family at this incredibly difficult time.”

The Met Police are continuing to appeal for information on the shooting. They are urging for witnesses or anyone with relevant details to come forward.

The force added: “Anyone with information should call 101 quoting CAD 8032/28Mar, or, to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
