Family Supported as Murder Inquiry Ramps Up
Jesse’s heartbroken family are receiving specialised support from trained officers as police hunt for those responsible. No arrests have been made yet, but detectives are working fast to crack the case.
Police Plea for Witnesses to Help Solve the Crime
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Gammampila from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command said:
“Our investigation into Jesse’s murder continues at pace as we piece together what happened before and after the shooting. “I am appealing to anyone with information—whether you witnessed the shooting or know who did this terrible act—to come forward. “Thanks to those who have helped so far, but even the smallest detail could be crucial. Gun crime terrorises communities and breeds fear and mistrust. I understand people may be scared to speak to police, but please do the right thing. “Jesse’s family are devastated and deserve answers. If you can help, please get in touch. If you prefer, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.”
