Police name man murdered in street

12 April 2012

A man shot dead just streets away from where a teenager was gunned down earlier this month has been named by police.

Ezekiel Adeboyego Ojo, 24, originally from Nigeria, died from injuries sustained in the shooting in south London.

Police were called to Penrose Street in Southwark where they found Mr Ojo. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post mortem examination found the cause of death to be gunshot wounds to the chest.

The attack followed the shooting of 18-year-old Ryan Bravo on August 6 as he entered a Costcutters store in Walworth, just a few streets away from Penrose Street.

It is thought he could have died as a result of mistaken identity.

Police said the deaths were not thought to be linked, but they are not ruling out any possibilities.

Anyone with any information should call the incident room on 020 8247 4553, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 anonymously.
