Man shot dead on Central Hill estate

A man was shot dead on the Central Hill estate last night.
Police were called at 10.10pm to Oakwood Drive on the estate in Gipsy Hill by the London Ambulance Service.
They found a 22-year-old man with what was believed to be a gunshot wound.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe the man lived in the area, but a formal identification is yet to take place.
A police spokesman said the shooting could be gang related.
A postmortem examination is due to take place at Greenwich Mortuary this afternoon.
Detectives from Trident South are investigating and have arrested two women and four men on suspicion of murder. They are all in custody at different south London police stations.

Sweepster - you need to **** off back to the seaside. How dare you come on here and make all kinds of inaccurate and insensitive accusations; have you no decorum? Your opinion is neither valued or necessary and I sincerely hope you get shot in YOUR torso. See if it's justified then.
My point was that the previous poster was making comments about great britain not being great and I was merely saying what if it was a baddie?

You know nothing. Speculate NOTHING. Being a young black man, it was only a matter of time before one insensitive, callous **** like urself played the 'drug dealer' card. Don't make me start on you, Mr. BRIGHTON...of all the **** places to be coming from...Brighton? The land of candyfloss and seasides? And u want to comment on South London murders?
He WASNT A DRUG DEALER...merely a MURDER VICTIM. The police have ran all these checks, and as a close relative I can vouch for this too. **** hell.
