Police appeal over damaged car linked to fatal Hackney shooting

Detectives investigating the fatal shooting of a man in east London have issued an image of a car which they believe could have been used by the killers.

Oluwamayowa Adeyemi, 21, also known as Samson, was found with gunshot wounds in Brackenfield Close, Hackney, at 11.30pm on Friday.

A Volvo estate, recovered by police on Saturday from Cowper Road, near Highbury, is believed to be connected to those responsible.

The car was found damaged and with the false number plate EX18EXE.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine added: “The car had some distinguishing features in that there were scuff marks to both corners of the front bumper and the front passenger door mirror was held on with tape.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
