The man murdered in a tragic case of mistaken identity in the Harlesden street shooting has been named as local 27-year-old Oliver Tetlow.

The Metropolitan Police continue to appeal for witnesses especially those with images and video footage following the shooting on Church Road at the junction with Conley Road, Harlesden , just before 10pm on Wednesday (March 9).

Officers and paramedics from the London Ambulance Service (LAS) found a man with gunshot injuries and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post-mortem examination at Northwick Park Hospital gave the cause of death as gunshot wounds on Friday (March 11)

Detective chief inspector Mark Lawson of the Homicide and Major Crime Command is appealing to anyone who may have images or footage of the shooting to get in touch with the police.

DCI Lawson said: “The investigation to identify and arrest those responsible for this senseless murder is moving at a very fast pace, and I would like to thank everyone who has so far come forward and spoken to the police.”

“At this early stage in the investigation, we are exploring that the shooting was gang related - however I am satisfied that the victim was not the intended target and this was a tragic case of mistaken identity.

“Early indications are that shots were fired from an automatic weapon, although a firearm has not been recovered so we cannot speculate on the exact type.

“We do know that the victim was shot by a male who got out of a dark coloured vehicle.”

Police are keen to hear from anyone who saw a vehicle which caught their attention following the shooting. The vehicle travelled south along Church Street towards Harlesden town centre.

Officers have arrested two men following a murder in Brent.

An 18-year-old male was arrested at around 4pm on suspicion of robbery in Harlesden on Friday (March 11).

A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder in the Shepherd’s Bush area at around 11.50pm, also on Friday.

Both men remain in custody.
