Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend, leading the investigation, urged anyone with information to come forward. “Three people were shot, and sadly one has lost their life,” Townsend said. “We have been working tirelessly to establish the circumstances. In particular, I would like to hear from anyone who attended a party on Hensford Gardens, SE26, where Curtis was present before the incident. If you were at the party or have any information, please do not hesitate to contact us.”

Two others were injured in the shooting. A woman sustained gunshot wounds to her legs and was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A third person later sought medical attention, also with non-life-threatening injuries.

At this stage, no arrests have been made, and investigations continue.

Anyone with information or footage is urged to contact the police on 101, referencing 2527/10Nov, or to reach out via X @MetCC. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.
