A man has been charged with murder nearly four years after the fatal shooting of Leroy Mitchell in Croydon following a silent disco.

Cimarron Dume-Gooden, 32, of no fixed address, was charged on Monday, 16 June 2025 with the murder of 35-year-old Leroy Mitchell and perverting the course of justice.
The investigation into his death has been ongoing for several years, led by the Metropolitan Police Specialist Crime Command.

 

Justice Delayed, Not Denied

Following the breakthrough in the case, the Met Police confirmed that charges have now been brought against Dume-Gooden, who will face magistrates for a first appearance hearing.

Further court proceedings, including a likely transfer to a Crown Court for trial, are expected in the coming months.
