A woman has been released under investigation after a man was shot and stabbed in Canning Town.

Abubakkar ‘Junior’ Jah, 18, was attacked in Coolfin Road at around 2.45pm on Monday, 26 April, and sadly died at the scene.

A post-mortem examination showed he had both knife and gunshot wounds.

The victim’s next of kin were notified and formal identification has taken place.

His family is being supported by specialist officers.

A 30-year-old woman was initially arrested on Sunday and later released under investigation.

Police are appealing for witnesses as the investigation continues.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Wrigley, leading the investigation, said: “Despite the arrest made, I am still very keen to hear from anyone who was in the Coolfin Road area at the time of the murder.

“We believe that Junior was approached by a man in a black coloured Land Rover Discovery and was shot and stabbed by that same man.

“Were you in the area around the time of the murder? Did you drive through the Coolfin Road area and possibly have dashcam footage from around the time of the offence that shows a black Land Rover?

“Do you know why, or who by, the murder was committed?

“My team is ready to hear from anyone who has something to tell us, no matter how small or insignificant the information might seem, it could be vital to our investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8345 3715, by dialling 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting 4050/26April.

Alternatively, you can provide information 100% anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555.
