The business run by a man who was killed in an overnight shooting in Stoke Newington has been forced to close by the police.
Erdal Ozmen, 45, was shot dead on the junction of Stoke Newington High Street and Dynevor Road in the early hours of August 5.
According to Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, Mr Ozmen was gunned down as he closed up a coffee shop that he had been running for two weeks.
Now, the entrance on Dynevor Road, behind Good Pizza, has been cordoned off by police tape with a police car parked outside since the shooting.
A closure order has been placed on the black door to “prevent nuisance or disorder” from continuing, amid concerns the shooting could be linked to gangs in the area, according to the Daily Mail.
Mr Ozmen was reportedly part of the Hackney Bombers organised crime group who have been at war with rivals the Tottenham Turks.
The closure order is in place between 2pm on August 11 and 2pm on August 13. Anyone who enters without permission could face jail.
Police were called to the scene last week just after 12.15am after residents heard gunfire.
Upon arrival, paramedics found Mr Ozmen, as a Lime bike which lay strewn on the pavement on the other side of the road.
Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, Mr Ozmen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Ozmen’s family, who are reportedly members of the Kurdish community, have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
Metropolitan Police said the motive for the murder remains unclear and no arrests have been made.
This marks the sixth fatal shooting in London this year.
Eye witness Liza Dodds, 58, a youth worker who lives opposite Dynevor Road, said she woke up to the sound of gunshots and saw a police officer carrying out CPR.
She told the BBC: "My husband woke up and said there was gunshots. The instant reaction was, 'How do you know?'
"We both got up and had a look. A police officer was doing CPR where the person fell. It seemed like they were going forever."
Another resident told the Hackney Gazette: “I heard two or three gunshots around about midnight or 12.30am. They woke me up.”
DCI Dave Whellams, who is leading the investigation, previously said: “We continue to appeal for witnesses to come forward following the fatal shooting of Erdal. He was a father-of-one and was deeply loved by his family.
“Today, we are asking the public for assistance. Were you in the Dynevor Road area late on Monday night into early Tuesday morning? Did you see anyone acting out of the ordinary? Did you hear anything at all which perhaps seemed unusual – maybe people shouting, or a loud vehicle?
“The smallest piece of information could play a significant role in our investigation.”
