Photo of shooting victim released

The Metropolitan Police released the photograph as investigations continue into the 24-year-old's death.

Mr Ojo, originally from Nigeria, was shot dead just streets away from where a teenager was gunned down earlier this month. He died from injuries sustained in the shooting in south London on Friday.

Police were called to Penrose Street in Southwark at 2.45am 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.

While police said that his death was not thought to be linked to Mr Ojo's shooting, they are not ruling out any possibilities.

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Boughton said: "The area is near a very busy part of south-east London. A large number of bus routes use Walworth Road and it contains many fast food outlets.

"I am appealing for anyone who was in the area around 2.30am to 2.45am, or even before that time, and may have seen or heard anything suspicious."

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