Police have named the victim of a fatal shooting in north London as Erdal Ozmen, a 45-year-old father-of-one.
The Metropolitan Police launched a murder investigation after Ozmen was killed in Stoke Newington earlier this week.
He was found with gunshot injuries by officers who were called to an address in Dynevor Road on Tuesday at 12.18am. Ozmen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Local residents said they were woken by the sound of gunshots.
Liza Dodds, 58, a youth worker who lives opposite Dynevor Road, said her husband woke up after hearing the shots.
"My husband woke up and said there was gunshots. The instant reaction was 'how do you know?'" she said. "We both got up and had a look. A police officer was doing CPR where the person fell. It seemed like they were going forever."
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.”
Detectives say the motive for the murder remains unclear. No arrests have been made.
Forensic officers in scrubs and masks were at the scene on Tuesday afternoon, alongside several police officers.
