CCTV Captures Gun Victim On Night Of Death


Police trying to solve the murder of a 37 year-old man in Leyton, East London have released CCTV footage of the victim leaving a late-night convenience store just 90 minutes before he was shot dead.

A £20,000 reward is available to anybody providing information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the killer/s of Errol McKenzie.

He was shot in the chest in the early hours of April 11 in Seymour Road Playing Fields shortly after buying alcohol in nearby Lea Bridge Road at 11.15 pm.

Operation Trident detectives – who investigate violent black-on-black crime - continue to appeal for witnesses and information on the murder.

Police were called at around 00.50 to reports of a man suffering gunshot wounds in the playing fields.

Officers and London Ambulance Service attended, and Mr. McKenzie was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest.

Detective Inspector Lucy Kilgour said: "We are releasing this footage in the hope that someone will recognise Mr. McKenzie and remember seeing him that night.

“At this stage it would appear that he was a completely innocent victim, and it remains unclear how he has found himself the victim of a callous murder."
