Detectives investigating a fatal shooting in Leyton are re-issuing three images of people they wish to identify and speak with.

The images were initially circulated in September 2019 by detectives investigating the murder of Grineo Daka who was fatally shot in Lea Bridge Road, E10 in the early hours of Sunday, 7 July 2019.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Wrigley, who leads the investigation, said: “While this investigation has made significant progress and one person is awaiting trial for the murder, I am still keen to speak to the three people shown in these images.

“I believe they could hold significant information in relation to Grineo’s murder.”

“Grineo was fatally shot shortly before 03:00hrs on Sunday, 7 July, at Phoenix Snooker Club on Lea Bridge Road, E10.

“If you are one of the people in these images, or if you recognise them, please come forward and speak to my team.

“We understand that Grineo and two other men had gone to the snooker club. The victim was then involved in an altercation with another group and a number of shots were fired. A man has lost his life, while two others were injured. We need the community to support us and help bring those responsible to justice.

“I would appeal to anyone who was in or near the Phoenix Club to pick up the phone and call police now. Anyone with information about this brutal crime can contact the incident room, where detectives are ready to support you and take your call.”
