Police appeal: Daniel Famakinwa died an hour later in hospital

A man chatting with a woman at a bus stop was shot dead when an argument erupted.

Daniel Famakinwa, 20, was waiting with friends for a bus in West Norwood after a night out when a row broke out with another group of young men.

He was shot just after 4.15 on Saturday morning.

As other people fled, the woman Mr Famakinwa had been talking to stayed with him to try and help.

However she left when police arrived and is one of several people murder squad detectives are urging to come forward.

The shooting took place in Waylett Place at the junction with Norwood Road. Mr Famakinwa from Manor Park in east London was taken to King's College Hospital where he died over an hour later.

Detective Chief Inspector Caroline Goode said: "We know Daniel had been out dancing that night with a group of friends and afterwards they were waiting for a bus. There was an altercation between Daniel's group and another group of black men who were also waiting at the bus stop which has resulted in Daniel being killed.

"I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time, and who may have seen or heard anything suspicious, to come forward as you may hold significant information.

"We are specifically appealing for a white woman in a checked shirt who was also at the bus stop, and who had no connection to either group, to come forward. She understandably made off at the time but we need her to contact police - she may have vital information.

"We also want to trace a young black woman who was speaking to Daniel immediately prior to the shooting, and was present through the incident and stayed behind to help. However she left before police arrived and again we need to speak with her as a matter of urgency.

"I believe there were also a number of other black women at the bus stop who fled after the incident, and again we need them to come foreword and make themselves known."

Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8721 4868 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

"Another group of black men"! Hopefully that is for the sake of the investigation and not that England is finally borrowing a page from US and Australia!!

R.I.P Daniel Famakinwa!!!

May God PUNISH the people behind the death of this promising young man! They may be white or black I don't care, who ever goes around carrying a gun to shoot anyone who says a word or two they take objection to, will DIE a gruesome death one day!!

OK, venting over, I wish peace and eternal rest to Daniel Famakinwa. Sleep in the bosom of the Lord!

Imagine, thats the one we heard who knows how many that are gone. I think this is the time for government to intervene before all the Nigerians over there are killed. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.
