Two deny murder of man shot outside silent disco in south London

Two men have denied murdering a father-of-three who was shot as he left a silent disco.

Leroy Mitchell, 35, was killed in a car park in Birdhurst Road, Croydon, south London, just before 5am on October 2 2021.

He had been at a headphones party at a house in Birdhurst Road before his death.

Cimarron Dume-Gooden, 32, and Alpacino Veii, 29, each pleaded not guilty to a charge of murdering Mr Mitchell and perverting the course of justice when they appeared at the Old Bailey on Wednesday.

It is alleged they attempted to pervert the course of justice by setting a BMW alight and destroying the clothing inside it and also by hiding at addresses in Walsall and Somerset.

Dume-Gooden, of no fixed address, Veii, of Southwark, southeast London, were ordered to next appear for a further preliminary hearing on September 26.

A six-week trial is due to begin in February next year.
