A murder investigation was launched after police were called to reports of a shooting on High Road, N22, around 9.30 p.m. on Sunday, July 24.
Officers, including firearms officers, responded and discovered Camilo Palacio, 23, with a gunshot wound.
Officers immediately provided first aid until London’s Air Ambulance and London Ambulance Service arrived.
Camilo, from Enfield, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene at 10pm despite the efforts of the emergency services.
His next of kin have been notified, and they are being assisted by specialist officers.
A post-mortem examination revealed that the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest.
There have been no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing.
“My officers are very keen to hear from anyone who can help us identify the person responsible for Camilo’s death,” said Detective Chief Inspector Perry Benton, who is leading the investigation.
“A young man’s life was brutally ended on a public street, and a family is now struggling to cope with their loss – if there was ever a time to break the wall of silence, this is it.”
