£20k reward offered to solve north London murder
28 year old Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters was fatally shot in September.
A reward of up to £20,000 is being offered by Crimestoppers for anyone who has information to help solve the murder of Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters.
Tikquaan, 28, from the Queens Park Area, was shot at close range by a suspect riding a white Honda Moped in Bravington Road, Kilburn at about 23:05hrs on Wednesday, 4 September 2024.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found Tikquaan suffering from gunshot injuries. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, he unfortunately died at the scene.
Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “Today marks three months since Tikquaan was fatally shot in a quiet residential street. His family, understandably, remain heartbroken and my team and I remain dedicated to bring to justice whoever was responsible for this wicked violence.
“We have been working tirelessly over the last three months and we have made four arrests in connection with Tikquaan’s murder.
“We are continuing to make enquiries to identify a man who was captured on CCTV in the vicinity before the attack took place. We have today re-released his image.
“I must reiterate my appeal for anyone who has not yet spoken to us to come forward and speak to ourselves or Crimestoppers anonymously.”
'Devastating loss'
Tikquaan’s family, who remain supported by specialist officers, said: “The family and community are utterly broken by the devastating loss of such a special, innocent life. This heart breaking tragedy serves as a reminder that Tikquaan could have been anyone’s son, brother, nephew, or friend.
Your information could be the key to bringing justice for Tikquaan and providing closure to his grieving family, friends, and our community.”
Alexa Loukas, the London Regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: "We know it can be really hard to share information, especially if you’re worried about consequences. If you have any information about Tikquaan’s murder, Crimestoppers, an independent charity, can help. We will pass on what you know without ever asking for your personal details, so you stay completely anonymous. This means you won’t have to deal with the police, go to court, or give a witness statement.
“Tikquaan was a cherished young man whose life was tragically cut short. His family, friends, and the whole community deserve justice. Your information could be key to making that happen.”
Crimestoppers is supporting the investigation by offering up to £20,000 for information the charity exclusively receives - via its website crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555 111 – that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the murder of Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters.
The reward is available for three months and is due to expire on Tuesday, 4 March 2025.
Information passed directly to the police will not qualify for a reward from the charity Crimestoppers.
