'Deeply loved' father-of-one named as victim of fatal Stoke Newington shooting

The victim of a fatal shooting in north London has been named by police as the "deeply loved" father-of-one Erdal Ozmen.

Officers were called to Dynevor Road, Stoke Newington, to reports of gunshots at 00:18 on August 5.

Erdal, 45, was found with gunshot injuries and sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

The Metropolitan Police said at this stage, the motive for the murder remains unclear and no arrests have been made.

A post-mortem examination will be held in due course.

His family continue to receive support from specialist officers, the force added.

'Deeply loved'

Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams, who is leading the investigation, said: “We continue to appeal for witnesses to come forward following the fatal shooting of Erdal.

"He was a father-of-one and was deeply loved by his family.

“Today, we are asking the public for assistance. Were you in the Dynevor Road area late on Monday night into early Tuesday morning?

"Did you see anyone acting out of the ordinary? Did you hear anything at all which perhaps seemed unusual – maybe people shouting, or a loud vehicle?

"The smallest piece of information could play a significant role in our investigation.”
