A 25-year-old man was arrested in south London in the early hours of Tuesday, 14 May on suspicion of murder of 26-year-old Jazmel Patterson-Low – he remains in custody.
Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe, Specialist Crime, leads the investigation and said:
“This arrest demonstrates that our investigation is making progress but I am still appealing to any witnesses or anyone with information to get in contact.
“We know there was a group of around 40 people gathered in and around St Rule Street on Friday evening and the early hours of Saturday morning. A dispute appears to have flared up rapidly after 2am, resulting in shots being fired.

“Several people have come forward to provide information and I am extremely grateful to them. However, I am certain there are other people who will know what happened in St Rule Street and who was responsible for the shooting. I urge them to come forward and share that information.”
An investigation was launched after medical staff called police at around 2.30am on Saturday, 11 May. They reported that the victim, suffering a gunshot injury, had been dropped off at St Thomas’ Hospital in a private car.
