A reward of up to £20,000 has been offered for anyone who has information relating to the murder of Curtis Green in a fresh appeal for answers a year after his tragic death.
Curtis, 30, was fatally shot on Wells Park Road in Sydenham, south east London, on Sunday, 10 November 2024 at around 10pm.
Despite the best efforts of first responders to treat him at the scene, Curtis sadly died from his injuries.
Detectives say that the incident followed a party in Hensford Gardens, Sydenham, where two other people were shot.
Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend said: "Three people were shot, and sadly one has lost their life. We have been working tirelessly in order to establish the circumstances."
Curtis was described as a “much loved young man” whose death rocked his local community, who are still without answers.
A year on from the fatal shooting, Townsend has once again issued an appeal for information.
She said: “It has been a year since Curtis was fatally shot and two others were severely injured.
“I am appealing to anyone who has information about what happened to Curtis. I am especially keen to hear from those who were in Hensford Gardens at the time of the shooting.
“The slightest bit of information can assist, you may not think the information that you have is important, but it may prove vital to this investigation.
Townsend confirmed that police will try their best to ensure the identity of anyone who comes forward is protected.
Curtis’ family have echoed this appeal and spoke to the “hurt, grief, stagnation and destruction” since his tragic death.
They have urged anyone who has information to “be brave and come forward”.

Information can be submitted either online at Crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555 111 at any time. The reward is due to expire on 10 February 2026.
