Police have announced a £20,000 reward for information following a fatal shooting in north London in March.
Mahad Abdi Mohammed, 27, died from a gunshot wound to the head on Waverley Road at 8.45pm on Thursday, March 20, the Metropolitan Police said.
Officers believe the incident was a case of confusion and would like to speak to two people in relation to the incident.
The Met announced the reward from independent charity Crimestoppers eight months after his tragic death.
Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Woodsford, who led the Met’s investigation, said: “There is someone out there who knows what happened that night and we are urging those individuals to find it in their hearts to come forward.
“No matter how little information you think it is, please talk to us. It may be exactly what we need to find those responsible.”
On the night of the murder, Mahad had spent the early evening with his friend at their house.
They were outside breaking their fast when a stolen Mitsubishi Outlander approached and the suspects opened fire, attacking Mahad and his friend multiple times.
This car was used to transport the suspects to and from the scene and was found burnt to the ground in Runcorn Close, near Tottenham, the next morning.
Police believe the suspects were traveling in a stolen blue Jaguar to and from the Mitsubishi used in the incident.
Mahad’s 26-year-old friend was treated at the hospital for a gunshot wound to his leg.
The investigation so far has led officers to believe that the person who killed Mahad set out to harm someone else in a pre-planned, targeted attack.
Mahad’s youngest sister said: “To remain silent is to be complicit in the crime. To remain silent is to allow a suffering mother to suffer in confusion. To remain silent is to allow a little child to grow up without knowing what happened to his father.
“If you know something and have not come forward, please consider this. Consider a family that cannot begin to heal because the truth is still hiding in the shadows. My brother deserves better. He deserves justice.”
Four people were arrested on suspicion of murder in March and April. They were questioned and released on bail pending further investigation.
The reward given to those who provide information that will lead to the identification, arrest and prosecution of those responsible will expire on March 20, 2026.
