DCI Kelly Allen of Specialist Crimewho is leading the investigation said: “My heart goes out to the family of the man who has lost his life in this reckless act of violence. I can assure them of my total dedication, and that of my team, to ensuring that they get justice.
“I believe there were 50 to 100 people gathered in and around Cheney Row Park at the time of the shooting with music playing.
"I urgently need to speak with everyone who was at that event – even if you do not believe you saw anything significant, you need to come forward.
“There will have been footage and images captured at the event, and we need to see these. Please ensure that all such material is saved – we will provide a link for it to be uploaded shortly.
“To anyone considering whether or not to come forward to police, I ask you to put yourself in the position of the victim’s grieving mother and father this morning. They deserve answers.
“And whoever took a gun to a gathering like this does not deserve your protection, nor do they deserve to be free to inflict further harm on others. Please do the right thing and make contact today.”
