The 20-year-old was gunned down yards away from the Sudbury Swan in Harrow Road, last Thursday just after midnight.

A post mortem showed he was shot in the chest.

Detective Inspector Julie Willats, from the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command, is keen to speak to anyone who saw a light coloured Ford Focus which was driving in the area shortly before the killing.

She said: “The vehicle was distinctive in that it had blacked out rear windows and large ‘21-spoke’ alloy wheels. If you know anything about this vehicle or the occupants then please get in touch as soon as possible.”

She is also asking for anyone who was in the Harrow Road, Saunderton Road, Fishers Way and Williams Way areas and hour before Mr Green was shoot and an hour after to come forward.

She added: “This is a very sad incident and police are committed to working with the community, local authority and other partners to keep people safe. The Safer Neighbourhoods teams will be speaking with local residents as part of this appeal.”
