Police are hunting for a teenager wanted for conspiracy to murder following a shooting in east London.

Officers were called to reports of a firearm discharge in Pownall Road, Hackney, after shots were fired on Sunday, 31 January.

The Metropolitan Police have released an image of Nadi Kwame, 18, who was last known to live in the Ilford area, as part of an investigation into the incident.

Police said no injuries were reported, but the teenager is wanted for conspiracy to murder.

Detectives from the Met’s Central East Command Unit are leading the search for Mr Kwame, who also has links to the Barking and Hackney areas.
