Police name man shot in Lambeth
Police have named a man who was fatally shot in Lambeth this weekend
Jazmel Dashourn Patterson-Low was injured on the Westbury Estate during the early hours of Saturday
The 26 year old was dropped off in a car at St Thomas' Hospital where he later died.
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are leading the murder investigation. There has been no arrest. The car has been found and forms part of the ongoing investigation.
Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe, Specialist Crime, said: “Around 40 people had been 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.
“I am extremely grateful to those who have already come forward to provide information. Along with CCTV and forensic enquiries, this has provided numerous lines of enquiry, which detectives are working around the clock to develop.
“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.
“If you don’t want to speak to police, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously. Some people have already done that – I don’t know who they are, but I have their information and I thank them.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh, the senior officer responsible for policing Lambeth, said: “Ever since Saturday morning, I have remained in contact with local people and partners in Lambeth. We are all appalled by the brutal killing of Jazmel and we are working together to protect and support the community.
“Jazmel’s family deserve answers. Dedicated police officers, including specialists from across the Met, are determined to do everything we can for them - to bring whoever killed Jazmel to justice, and to protect the community by taking his killer off the streets.
“But we do need even more help from the local community to achieve those crucial aims. If you have crucial information – if you know who fired that gun – please come forward and share that information now.”
