The Metropolitan Police are appealing for information one year on from the fatal stabbing of 24-year-old Jonah Ho-Shue in Haringey.
Officers were called to Albert Road, N4, at 11.43pm on Thursday, 4 January 2024, following reports of a serious assault. Despite emergency efforts, Jonah tragically died at the scene from a stab wound to his arm.
Ongoing Investigation
The investigation, led by the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, remains active. Since its launch, five individuals have been arrested on suspicion of murder. Three men, aged 23, 24, and 25, along with two women, aged 25 and 29, remain under investigation. One man has been released without further action.
Detectives are now offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the identification, arrest, and prosecution of the person responsible for Jonah’s death.
Family’s Plea for Justice
In a renewed appeal, Jonah’s family expressed their heartbreak and urged anyone with information to come forward.
“It’s hard for me and my family and his friends to talk about Jonah in the past tense. He should be here, we should be talking about him in the present.”
“He was a loving brother, son, cousin, uncle, and a grandson, and our hearts are broken. I wouldn’t want anybody to go through what we’ve been through as a family.”
“I’m appealing for anybody who has information, even if you think it’s small, please come forward. Please ease my family’s pain by doing the right thing.”
Appeal from Police
Detective Inspector Emma Sharp from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command reaffirmed the commitment to finding those responsible:
“We are continuing to work hard to find those responsible for Jonah’s death. His family have faced the past year without the answers they deserve. There are people amongst our communities who know what happened to Jonah, and now is the time to come forward.”
“We understand that those with information may be concerned, but please, contact us to help give Jonah’s family the justice they deserve.”

Anyone with information is urged to call the incident room on 020 8345 3715 or via 101, quoting Operation Bardcole.
