He died at the scene
A crime scene and road closures are in place.
At this early stage in the investigation no arrests have been made.
The investigation is led by Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley in Specialist Crime (Homicide). He said: "The incident took place in a residential street and as a result I am sure there are people who may have captured footage on their doorbell or dash cameras that could be vitally important for us.
"I need those people to check immediately and share any material they have with us immediately.
"Equally if you saw or heard anything before the incident, or after it, I need you to speak to my team so that we can have the best possible chance of finding whoever responsible for this horrific crime and bringing them to justice."
Detective Superintendent Dean Lanfear, head of local investigations in Westminster, said: "This awful violence will, I know, be of considerable concern to the people who live on this street, and across Westminster. I can assure them that we will do everything we possibly can to apprehend those responsible.
"There will be an increased police presence in the area. I urge people to approach officers and share any information they have with them.
"Another young man has lost his life to violence on our streets and his family are grieving. That is not right. We will do everything we can, but we need the public's help."
