Officers from Met Police arrested a 41-year-old man on suspicion of murder on Sunday. A 37-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. Both remain in police custody.

An investigation was launched after police were called to reports of a shooting near the Costco superstore in Imperial Way, Croydon, just after 5pm on Thursday.

A 41-year-old man was treated by paramedics but sadly died at the scene.

"We would urge any witnesses to come forward and share information with us."
