Murder Investigation Continues
Police launched a murder probe straight away. So far, Abdul Hakim and Nasser Nashir have pleaded guilty to assisting an offender and are awaiting sentencing. But those who pulled the trigger have yet to face justice.
Detective Urges Public to Come Forward
“Lamar suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene, with the shooting happening at around 6.45pm,” said Detective Chief Inspector Andrea Bowell, senior investigating officer on the case. “I want to implore anyone who may have seen what happened to get in touch so we can secure justice for Lamar’s loved ones.”
