Police offer £20,000 reward to find killer of teenager shot in east London

Police investigating the shooting of an 18-year-old man in east London have offered a £20,000 reward for information about his murder.

Alex Ajanaku, 18, was sitting on a bench with friends in Beaumont Road, Leyton, after going to an illegal rave, in the early hours of September 1 2021, when he was killed.

A new appeal for information comes after a month which saw a series of shootings and stabbings across different parts of the city.

The vehicle believed to have been used in the shooting was a black Kia Sportage which had been stolen from Chingford shortly before midnight on Monday August 16.
