Family pays tribute to victim of fatal shooting in Camden

Tributes have been paid to the victim of a fatal shooting in Camden.

Officers were called to reports of gunshots at approximately 23:00hrs on Saturday, 28 March on Chalton Street.

Despite the work of paramedics, a 26-year-old man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Following a post-mortem earlier today, Tuesday, 31 March, he has been formally identified as Nahom Medhanie.

Nahom’s family, who are being supported by specialist officers, said in a tribute:

“Nahom was more than a son and a brother to us and since his passing it has been the hardest days of our lives.

“He was funny, honest and would just light up the room with his presence and that’s what we loved most about him.”

His family has asked for privacy at this time.

The case is being investigated by homicide detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command.

CCTV enquiries showed that Nahom was shot several times while sitting in a white Nissan Juke by the suspect, who arrived and left on a bike.

Investigations continue and no arrests have been made at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 101, quoting CAD 8032/28MAR or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Information, including dash cam or other video footage, can also be sent to the investigation team through the Major Incident Public Portal here.
